STEP 4: SYNTHESIZE
OVERVIEW
This step brings together all of the information collected through targeted research and framed within the decision support framework. This information is synthesized into a preferred plan that optimizes synergies between different aspects of the project. By the end of this step, a master concept plan and course of action have emerged, laying the foundation for the preparation of the SuNliving Implementation Manual.
Task 13: Prepare a Charrette Brief
Research information is compiled into a charrette brief that serves as an orientation and instruction manual for the charrette.
Task 14: Prepare for Charrette
The importance of the charrette choreography cannot be overstated, making this task crucial. The charrette team is formed, the schedule is prepared and all charrette logistics are planned, coordinated and carried out.
Task 15: Deliver the Charrette
Alternative designs are developed and synthesized into a preferred concept plan through a series of feedback loops that engage the stakeholder group.
Task 16: Develop Master Concept and Course of Action
The development of the master concept plan and course of action are carried out in parallel. The charrette plan, strategies and actions are assessed and adjusted until project targets have been optimized.
