Charette Meetings - the SNA board then decided, along with KCAI to have a series of meetings with the Architect, Landscape Architect, other immediate neighbors, Rockhill, Brad Wolff from the City’s Historic Preservation Office, and KCAI. The very first session, was a listening session where Hufft reviewed the program for the building, then listened and documented what the neighbors thought was important, what should be included, and what should be avoided for the project. In subsequent meetings, we discussed massing, scale, setback, lighting, security, style, materiality, etc). After the last of these meetings, the group agreed that the design and concept was at a point that should be shared with the entire neighborhood. That meeting is taking place this Tuesday, December 4th at Epperson Auditorium on the Campus of KCAI, at 5:30 pm.
