We had about a dozen folks show up this night for the first PFDG Design Challenge/Charrette.
The concept here was that we would present the group members with a series of design problems in advance of the meeting, and they would attempt to provide solutions to them. The bulk of the meeting would be devoted to hashing out the different solutions submitted.
Unfortunately, the two challenges I presented proved a bit too high-end, so from a group participation standpoint this concept tanked a bit. It still fits with where I want to move the group – to a participatory, dialogue based format – but for the next Challenge we’ll be splitting the problems into easy/intermediate/hard, and giving folks a bit more lead time..
The Challenge file and Solution file are bundled together in a zip archive and can be downloaded here.
