MALL PROJECT EVENTS:
|
Re-invention of the South Square Mall is one of DAD's most significant current projects. After months of planning, the first public phase took place from Sept. 29 - Oct. 1 in the form of a Community Design Workshop ("Charrette") and Institute attended by almost 200 people. The reports which resulted from that event, and the captioned photographs taken during its progress, illustrate what was done, who was there, and the direction provided by affected citizens and professional designers working together.
|
The Workshop was an important first step in the
development of a plan founded on market analysis, citizen input and dialog, excellent
design, and economic realities. The process is ongoing. It will not be completed until
implementation of the first phase of a multi-phase long range plan actually occurs. Until
that happens, DAD plans to document here events as they unfold. Summary and progress
reports, sketches, drawings and photographs, formal papers, events listings, and - if
demand is sufficient - streaming audio files of talks and papers will be published.
In addition, and essential to the success of this project, this will be your 24-hour
forum for inputting your own ideas and reactions. Don't be shy; share your vision and
insights, your criticism and your support.
