What is a Charrette?
Charrette (“cart” in French) is a term often used to describe the final, intense work effort expended by art and architecture students to meet a project deadline. The Downtown Modesto Charrette is a five-day public design workshop that will bring together community members, decision makers and stakeholders to work with a team led by Opticos Design, the City’s Downtown Plan consultant. All community members are welcome to attend and share their ideas. Your comments and suggestions will be incorporated through a series of ‘feedback loops’ as design ideas are developed over the course of the charrette. We look forward to seeing you there!
