In this two day design event, students of the EDR DesignShift
Charrette worked through a intense integrated design process to
design integrated building solutions to achieve Zero Net Energy
(ZNE). Teams were then given two weeks to continue work and submit
for the final design competition. Students came from
universities and colleges across California and worked in groups of
multiple disciplines ranging from architecture to engineering to
ecology to psychology.
Students spent day one studying concepts of integrated design
roles, project management and team dynamics. Day two was devoted to
designing a building through the EDR Design Shift process using
strategies and analysis tools taught throughout the day.

presentations are currently in jury and the winning team will be
anounced November 21st!
Thank you to all the student participants!

 What aspects of the
DesignShift Charrette were most beneficial?
The fact that we got to work with professionals and other majors
not relating to us. It was a great lesson in communication and team
work.
 What aspects of the
DesignShift Charrette were most beneficial?
I think learning about the different demands it takes to design
something like a "Green Building" were most beneficial. It was
great to see how much work, planning and teamwork it takes to put
together something like this!
 What aspects of the
DesignShift Charrette were most beneficial?
Being able to explore different reponsibilities in the design
process.
 Will you recommend this to a
friend or classmate?
Yes! It felt like I was on Project Runway how organized and
professional the process was, it was fun and realistic skills were
learned and applied
 Will you recommend this to a
friend or classmate?
Yes! A fun workshop that integrated seamlessly across all
stakeholder disciplines and should be experience by others looking
to enter this field.
 I like the hourly shifts and
how our time was scheduled for us, everything was extremely
organized, realistic, and I appreciated the time that was put into
the planning, it really showed.
 I believe that the program
was organized and structured perfectly. We had enough time to do
everything we needed and most importantly everything was fun! This
was a great educational experiences that will influence every
participants future professional careers.
