Planning with plasticine

Planning Adaptation with Plasticine

Every five-year old knows that plasticine is an essential learning and building tool. On the 17^th and 18^th of November a group of researchers, planners and regional managers explored plasticine as a planning tool at a workshop in Bendigo, Victoria.

The workshop itself was a design charette, an intensive episode of creative brainstorming. Charettes were developed in France by design students scrambling to meet a deadline. They involve experts and the lay public addressing a design problem by developing a set of scenarios in a loosely structured and creative way.
