design:SD — The Design Boards
April 1st, 2009 by Mike Knutson
Design: South Dakota’s three-day design charrette in Deuel County, SD culminated with a presentation of the design board developed by the team. As Joe Bartmann wrote on the Design:SD blog:
The theme of our charrette this year became “Deuelities.” A play on ‘Deuel’ and ‘Duality.’ A duality is a relationship between two things, where both are different, but something is shared. That’s pretty much what we saw and heard in Deuel-several individual communities with identities of their own, but connected by a commonality or shared space and culture. County boundaries are certainly just imaginary political lines, but Deuel County communities have an opportunity for bigger things by connecting and working together.
You can see from the slides that there are some pretty talented design professionals on the team. Some of the concepts developed involve major projects, while others could be accomplished with a little effort here or there. It will be fun to see where the community takes the ideas.
