At the University of California Santa Barbara, students of the
EDR DesignShift™ Charrette worked through a intense integrated
design process over two days 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.

 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.
