One design charrette, two hours, five jurors, one great conversation

Date:  Saturday, June 7th

Location: 3rd Ward in Brooklyn at 195 Morgan Ave. 

Time:   3:00 pm to 6:00 pm 

Jury: 
* Philip Nobel, Contributing Editor, Metropolis Magazine

A design problem related to New York’s projected population increase will be given to participants promptly at 3:00 pm to solve in two hours.  All work will then be pinned up and the invited jury will hold an open discussion and critique with participants.  A critical conversation will emerge from the work generated and the questions posed by the original brief.  Cheer on your friends or come participate to hear your work discussed.

The charrette is aimed at young designers five years or less out of school; whether you are a graphic, industrial, fashion designer, artist, architect, or planner, Design in 5 invites you to attend.  Refreshments will be available.  You may participate as an individual or as a team of up to three people.

Reservations for participation are required; post-charrette discussion will be open to all. RSVP by emailing [email protected] or call 212.753.1722. Admission to Sketch120 is $10 at the door; Architectural League members receive free admission. Design in 5 and the Architectural League wish to thank 3rd Ward for hosting the event: http://www.3rdward.com.  For more information, visit LINK
