In addition to the online forum here at SPEAK UP, the in-person Charrette starts next week. The Charette is a series of day and evening public sessions, conducted by the team of DPZ CoDESIGN, the same team that brought Naples the world-class 5th Avenue South area.
Evening Sessions (orange boxes in schedule) will start with Opening Presentation on Tuesday, November 9th at 6pm at The Collective. There will be less formal “pin-up” sessions, with periodic presentations of the evolving design ideas.
