National Charrette Institute NCI is conducting a very interesting training for the architectural firm of Mason & Hanger in Lexington, KY. This is the second set of trainings for MH who does military projects. Case studies for this course include a sniper range installation, a new reserve base near an existing neighborhood, and a manufacturing faci...lity for torpedo ammunition. Most of these projects will use the "in-house" charrette model.

The company I work for does a lot of work for the military and I've been told they do charrettes. Is the "in-house" model the Military's model? Thanks!

Yes Yvette, For security reasons most of the military charrettes are in-house. However charrettes are increasing being used for military projects that impact their surrounding communities. You may have noticed that we did a training at the Defense Community Conference recently (earlier post).

National Charrette Institute NCI faculty Bill Lennertz and David Brain conducted a training session at the DOD's Defense Community Conference in Orlando last week. Over 150 military and community planners attended the session which focused on the the use of the NCI Charrette System in joint planning between military bases and their surrounding com...munities. The exercise used a hypothetic case that featured issues common to base operations v. community growth including wind farm locations and flight exercise areas.
