      Examine a chronicled case study of Sandhill, from the initial Mockbee-led design charrette in 2001 to present-day construction documents. Discover the step-by-step recording of the design, commencing with the “visioning” charrette then detailing owner/design team selection criteria, exploring recent case study examples, reviewing methods of integrating landscape and building design processes, and concluding with the selection of innovative building materials and environmental systems.

Learning objectives:

• Examine innovative approaches to sustainable site and building design that target LEED's platinum level
• Develop collaborative methods of design-team engagement, owner/user groups funding services, and community representatives
• Identify design directions to create a place of transformation, using natural processes to inspire design strategies.
