Quality Urban Design – Jeff is a promising young designer in the beginning stages of his career. Through his work with CharretteCenter Inc, Jeff has gained experience in working with the public in the design process and identifying the unique needs and advantages that each site possesses.
Forensic Analysis and Opportunities Identification - Jeff will immerse himself in a site and become intimate with it. His research skills will delve into the historical settlement and development patterns as well as current conditions. He thoroughly analyses an area, its public realm and private buildings to identify what parts of a community are working and what needs improvement. Jeff works parcel by parcel, block by block, street by street, with the aid of historical maps and records, census, traffic and real estate data, previous planning efforts and in-depth photo documentation. His experience in urban design and drafting of form based codes leads his to critically judge each component of a community.
Honest Information Sharing – Jeff’s dedication to quality urban environments that compliment the lives of the people who live in them has lead him to understand the need of thorough and truthful documentation of the design process. He believes that through the prompt, candid dissemination of information, stakeholders will gain trust in those working to design urban environments and will better understand the elements of quality design. Jeff has experience in the authoring, editing, design and publishing of informational materials on the web and in hardcopy formats as well as researching of background information. | |
Technological Integration – By wisely integrating new technologies into the urban design process, Jeff feels that projects can be facilitated much more smoothly and at a cost savings to everyone involved. The speed, ease, and wide spread accessibility of web documentation leads to a more informed group of stakeholders and designers alike. 3D computer modeling serves as both quickly and accurately created underlays for quality renderings and high quality images and virtual walk throughs for public showing.
