10. 1. Introduce idea of Charrette
“A Charrette is a multidisciplinary inclusive design
process – conducted on site and in an
uncomfortably short time frame”
2. What we are trying to achieve
“The object is to give a forum for the best ideas to
be developed, chosen and combined into a new
aspirational plan for the area. The short time
frame and the inclusive nature of the process
aims to achieve transformative change”

15. 3. What we want to get from you
• How you use the Creekside area?
• How you would like to use the area?
• What issues you would like the design team to address
• Be “ambassadors” for the process
4. Creative Process are here to be the catalysts but not the
directors of the process or the owners of the outputs– we
have no pre designed plan for the area up our sleeves, as
near as possible, we start with a blank sheet of paper – and
the results will be jointly owned by all of you who take
part
