CHARETTE RESULTS FOR THREE RIVERS AREA |
| |
The
community of Three Rivers looked to the future as they
worked to create a healthy community plan and help build
capacity for collaboration. The Southwest Michigan Chapter
of the American Institute of Architects facilitated the
May 18th, 19th, and 20th charette.
Representatives
from the City of Three Rivers, Fabius Township, Lockport
Township, Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority,
Three Rivers Chamber of Commerce, St. Joseph County Economic
Development Corporation, Civic Organizations and residents
participated in the three day charette held at A Place
In Time in Downtown Three Rivers.
The
clear purpose of the Three Rivers Community Design Charette
was to experiment in city/township planning collaboration,
create a basis for state and community grants for expanded
study opportunities, create a vision for obtainable and
feasible projects that will benefit the community and
provide architects with the opportunity for strategic
civic engagement at a unique time in Michigan's development
history. As designers of the built environment, architects
play an important role in shaping our communities. Their
design affects our safety, health, and the environment
as well as the quality of life in our neighborhoods, towns,
cities, and regions.
Design
teams looked at three components of the Three Rivers Community,
the Downtown, the neighborhoods and the US 131 Corridor.
The
charette took into consideration the AIA's 10 Principles
for Livable Communities:
-
Design
on a human scale
-
Provide
choices in housing, shopping, recreation and transportation
-
Encourage
mixed-use development
-
Preserve
urban/historical centers
-
Vary
transportation options
-
Build
vibrant public spaces
-
Create
a neighborhood identity
-
Protect
environmental resources
-
Conserve
landscapes
-
Design
does matter
AIA's
10 Principles for Livable Communities engages architects
as members of their communities, to use and share their
knowledge, skill, and experience to participate in civic
life. Architecture expresses the values of society and
has the power to enrich the human spirit and ensure livability
for this and future generations.
