Creating a design solution that's both feasible for the owner and attentive to community needs is a challenge. Community opposition can make the situation even more difficult. How can architects address community concerns, build neighborhood trust, and help the community recognize the value of the proposal?
Join Carol RossBarney and Lena Schapen of Ross Barney Architects as they share strategies their team uses during project kickoff. You'll learn about tools that can enhance neighborhood voices while also serving owner goals. Plus, gain practical insights into putting the community first and listening to all voices when designing.
