A
I'm
bill
Leonard's
from
Portland
Oregon,
and
it's
really
nice
to
be
down
here.
It
is
just
how
you
imagined
it
to
be
in
Portland
right
now,
and
this
is
just
how
I
imagined
it
would
be
right
here
in
Cupertino.
It's
a
real
pleasure
to
be
here
I'm
with
the
consultant
team
working
for
the
city
on
the
project,
but
actually
we're
working
for
you.
A
We're
working
for
the
community,
we're
working
for
the
best
outcome.
We've
always
done
that
the
people
that
I'm
working
with
check
us
out
all
of
our
professional
lives
were
working
for
the
best
outcome
of
our
projects.
Somebody
says
who's
paying
you
yeah
somebody's,
paying
me.
Somebody
always
pays
me.
A
There's
this
little
analogy:
this'll
only
take
a
second
mayor
he's
going
to
get
up
here,
little
analogy
that
I
use.
Sometimes
we,
the
consultant
team
and
there's
damper
Olek
over
here,
he's
my
colleague
here
he's.
Actually
the
lead
consultant
I'm
only
up
here,
because
I
do
this
public
meeting
thing
and
there's
this
analogy
that
a
friend
of
mine
used
once
about
taxi
drivers,
so
imagine
that
you're
and
have
anybody
been
in
a
London
taxi
driver.
So
these
taxi
drivers
are
like
trained.
Okay,
they
go
to
school.
A
They
like
our
really
good
taxi
drivers
and
so
in
a
way
we're
your
taxi
driver.
Okay,
hop
in
the
back.
Tell
us
where
you
want
to
go.
I
want
to
go
to
Piccadilly,
Circus
taxi
driver.
You
know
the
best
way
to
get
there
now.
Part
of
it
is
that
the
taxi
driver
knows,
unlike
some
I,
don't
want
to
offend
any
uber
or
lyft
drivers
in
the
room,
but
London
taxi
drivers
know
where
the
potholes
are,
where
the
constructions
happening
the
best
route
because
of
the
constraints
because
of
the,
if
you
will,
data
and.
A
They'll
get
here
so
it's
a
little
bit
like
that's
our
relationship.
I
propose
our
relationship.
Is
that
we're
gonna?
Listen
to
you
all
of
you
see
where
you
want
to
go
and
I
know
some
of
you
want
to
go
this
way
and
some
want
to
go
that
way
and
some
want
to
go
that
way
and
some
want
to
go
that
way.
But
I
do
believe
that
there's
a
place
in
there
somewhere.
A
A
We
want
to
tonight
create
a
shared
understanding
among
all
of
us,
you
and
us
of
the
purpose
and
process
community
values,
issues
and
viewpoints
about
this
project.
We
are
taking
information,
we
haven't
started
design,
yet
we're
not
going
to
start
designed
till
April
we're
going
to
be
doing
a
lot
of
listening
I'm
going
to
tell
you
how
that's
done
the
desired
outcomes
of
tonight's
meeting.
Is
that
shared
understanding
of
the
project
of
purpose,
the
brainstorm
of
values
and
visions
which
are
up
there?
A
Already
we've
got
our
brainstorm,
going
we're
going
to
do
maps
with
lists
of
your
current
state
of
the
project.
You
are
the
experts
tonight.
You
know
this
place.
Tell
us
what
we
need
to
know
about
this
place.
Current
condition
map
number
two
future
state.
Where
are
we
going?
What's
the
future
vision,
those
maps?
That's
we
want
to
get
out
of
it
tonight.
This
is
all
going
to
be
gathered
and
put
into
the
pot
ground
rules.
A
So
many
people
here
tonight
in
fact,
unbelievably
fantastic,
that
you're
all
here
in
Portland.
If
it
was
this
nice
tonight,
no
one
would
show
up
they'd
be
out
walking
around
even
every
one
of
you,
no
matter
how
you
feel,
no
matter
what
your
viewpoint
is
is
here,
because
you
are
passionate
about
your
community
and
I
honor,
that
I
honor
your
passion,
the
energy
you're,
putting
in
the
time
you're
putting
in
everybody
is
honored
for
that.
A
So,
let's
all
work
together
tonight,
I
had
this
one
called
talk
with
your
pen
and
guess
what
you've
already
done
that
so
talk
with
your
pen
or
it
gets
lost.
We're
gonna
gather
up
every
piece
of
paper
in
this
room
and
record
it
so
and
listen
respect
all
ideas.
There
probably
are
going
to
be
some
different
ideas
at
your
table
than
yours,
respect
it
for
tonight
no
bad
ideas.
Tonight
everyone
participates.
No
one
dominates
work
as
a
team
and
no
cell
phones,
silent,
so
I'll.
Just
let
where's
mayor
Paul,
sorry
he's
going
to
welcome
us.
A
B
C
C
C
The
Valco
space
represents
an
invaluable
opportunity
for
us
as
a
community
to
get
together
and
consider
what
we'd
like
to
see
in
the
context
of
what
is
feasible
and
what
is
needed,
and
I
have
recently
spoken
at
our
State
of
the
City
address
to
broader
needs
and
in
an
effort
not
to
be
misconstrued.
One
of
those
broader
needs
is
indeed
housing
and
I.
Believe
that,
and
my
hope
is
that
everyone
from
all
the
various
perspectives
keeps
an
open
mind
and
engages
in
the
process
in
a
good-faith
and
honest
manner.
To
me.
C
That
means
being
open
and
responsible
in
a
manner
that
adheres
to
practical
requirements
and
fairness.
Affordable
housing
is
critically
needed
in
our
area.
I'm,
proud
of
our
community
for
advocating
for
years
now
for
a
Palmer
fix,
and
it
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
that
we
have
here
to
deliver
real
relief
to
those
who
need
it
the
most,
and
so
thank
you
for
coming
out
tonight
and
I.
Thank
you
for
keeping
an
open
and
fair
minded
approach
to
this
conversation
and
opportunity.
A
I'm
gonna
do
a
little
piece
on
the
process
right
now
and
I'm
aware
that
I'm
in
the
middle
of
a
place
where
process
sorry
process
is
a
big
deal
here.
Process
is
a
big
deal.
I'm
a
student
of
process,
I'm
an
architect
urban
designer
you'll,
see
in
a
minute
the
background
of
this
work,
but
I'm
a
student
of
process
and
I'm
aware
of
that
down
here.
There's
this
thing:
that's
cooked
up
at
Stanford
called
design
thinking.
A
A
I
just
want
to
tell
you
that
it
is
a
process
that
Erin
Letson,
Heisner
and
I
developed
at
a
non-profit
that
we
created
called
the
National
Charette
Institute,
which
is
now
housed
at
Michigan,
State
University,
and
for
15
years
we've
been
teaching
this
process
around
the
country.
It's
about
building
trust.
We
wrote
a
book
I,
don't
mind
telling
you
second
edition
we're
gonna
get
it
in
the
library
pretty
soon
over.
Here
called
the
Charette
handbook
and
you're
gonna
find
out
what
this
word
means
in
just
a
second.
A
It
is
taught
at
that
other
University
at
the
other
end
of
the
nation,
Harvard
University,
where
I
teach
this
12
years
running
now,
in
fact,
we
call
it
NCI,
charettes,
plus
design
thinking
so
I'm.
Trying
to
do
is
tell
you
that
this
process
is
not
something
that
we
just
cooked
up
last
night.
This
is
something
that
has
been
developed
over
time
field-tested
and
we
feel
will
serve
this
community
well,
so
you
can
go
to
these
websites
find
out
about
this
in
more
detail,
but
actually
you're
gonna
live
it
in
the
next
few
months.
A
A
That
second
piece
is
being
people
ready,
data
ready
and
place
ready,
we're
building
trust
we're
talking
to
as
many
people
as
we
can
I've
already
talked
to
individually
15
16
people,
we're
gonna
talk
to
many
more
people
over
the
hundreds
of
hours
that
we
spend
with
you
we're
having
interviews,
meetings,
we're
doing
data
research
that
Dan
will
talk
about.
Then
we
move
into
a
Charette
phase
that
I'm
going
to
explain,
which
is
the
design
phase.
So
all
that
pre
work
done
upfront
right.
A
A
In
this
conversation,
we're
going
to
do
research
I
think
a
lot
of
you
care
about
the
data
right,
see
the
nodding
I've
heard
just
show
me
the
data
I
know
a
lot
of
you
are
engineers
we're
going
to
show
you
the
data
and
then
we're
going
to
do
the
Charette
to
charettes
actually,
which
are
designed
events
to
move
us
to
the
future
state.
So
tonight,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
guys
about
what
the
current
state
is
and
already
what
are
we
going?
Where
are
we
going
to
with
the
future
state?
Are
you
ready
over
there?
A
D
A
A
Here's
the
website,
by
the
way,
if
you
haven't
been
there,
it's
envision
Valco
and
it's
we're
building
it
right.
Now,
there's
already
plenty
of
information
on
there
about
the
events
that
are
going
to
be
happening
and
so
forth.
Okay,
I
want
to
tell
you
about
this
Charette
thing:
I
guess
actually
I'm
gonna
go
to
the
story.
Okay,
here's
the
story!
This
is
a
true
story.
The
occulta
Bozarth
in
Paris,
the
the
art
school
in
Paris
in
the
1918
OOS.
A
The
professor's
would
send
around
a
little
cart
to
pick
up.
The
students
work
that
students
would
have
to
do
a
project
really
fast,
how
many
people
have
gone
through
charettes
in
their
training.
Anybody
around
here,
architects,
okay,
right,
Landscape,
Architects.
We
used
to
call
them
all-nighters
kind
of
what
it
was.
A
It's
comes
from
that
time
when
the
kids
had
to
work
really
hard
to
get
their
their
designs
done,
and
the
professor
would
bring
a
little
cart
around
to
pick
up
their
work
and
the
kids
are
still
on
whatever
stimulants
they
had
in
Paris
and
in
those
days
on
the
cart
working
all
the
way
to
the
professor's
house
to
present
their
project.
I
remember
when
I
was
in
college,
I
was
up
all
night
and
the
professor's
came
in
I
was
still
gluing
the
trees
on
the
model
right
so
back
in
the
80s.
A
So
how
many
of
you
heard
this
word
sure
read
at
all:
okay,
okay,
there's
a
lot
of
myths
about
it
and
having
a
Charette,
Institute
I
was
constantly
correcting
the
myths.
One
is
that
it's
a
one-day
workshop.
It's
not
it's
multiple
days
to
is
that
the
outcome
is
predetermined
by
a
design
team.
Not
true.
We
come
in
with
a
blank
slate
watch
us
make
sure
we
don't
we
don't
do
that,
and
also
the
other
myth
is
that
it
runs
5
days.
I
have
to
quit
my
job
to
participate.
A
Well,
you
don't
have
to
quit
your
job
to
participate,
we're
going
to
have
certain
times
when
you
can
come
at
the
right
moments.
So
it
is
a
co
design
process.
It
has
at
least
three
feedback
loops
in
it.
It
is
integrated
design,
it
results
in
a
feasible
plan
and
actually
it's
very
energetic,
it's
very
creative
and
it
actually
is
a
lot
of
fun,
which
is
why
I
keep
doing
it.
It
embeds
people
in
the
design
process
we're
starting
that
tonight.
A
The
roles
where
the
taxi
drivers,
the
Charette
team,
Dan's,
going
to
talk
more
about
who
they
are
stakeholders.
That's
you
everybody!
There
are
going
to
be
in
each
Charette,
probably
about
60
hours
of
open,
studio
time,
allowing
people
to
come
and
go
at
different
times,
but
there
will
be
pre-arranged
times
there.
Gonna
be
big
public
meetings
like
this.
There
gonna
be
smaller
meetings
for
special
groups
and
they're
gonna
be
stopped
by
the
studio
anytime
and
talk
to
us.
A
So
we
really
get
worn
out
over
these
five
days,
but
it
involves
a
lot
of
time
to
bring
you
into
the
design
process.
The
process
goes
through
feedback
loops,
it
starts
with
a
visioning
and
then,
as
the
design
process
works
forward,
the
design
team
works
on
alternative
concepts.
Number
two:
we
feed
those
concepts
back
to
you
in
a
public
meeting,
only
two
nights
later
feedback,
a
lot
of
ideas.
What
we've
heard
we
have
a
conversation
about
it
we
find
out.
What's
working?
What's
not
working,
we
talk
about
the
data
which
is
performing
what's
not
performing.
A
We
go
back
work
on
a
preferred
plan
and
actually
our
process
is
going
to
break
this
up
into
two
charettes
Charette,
we'll
start
there
in
the
middle
and
take
the
preferred
plan
into
a
final
plan.
A
simple
way
to
look
at
it
is
that
there
are
these
feedback
loops
feedback
loops
which
are
key
to
engineering
key
to
good
design,
key
to
design.
Thinking
key
to
any
of
these
things,
as
any
of
you
in
business,
know
the
feedback
loops.
The
quick
feedback
loops
with
the
people
reduces.
A
A
Otherwise,
your
design
is
not
well
informed
and
you
go
backwards
right,
so
our
job
is
to
keep
moving
with
minimal,
rework
and
that's
what
this
is
I'm
I'm
gonna,
be
the
moderator
of
that
I'm
gonna
make
sure
that
if
we
miss
somebody
we
get
them
in
and
we
keep
this
feedback
loop
going
on
the
website
and
on
the
handouts.
You
have
a
schedule
of
public
events.
This
is
tonight
tomorrow.
Our
team
is
going
to
be
interviewing
about
85
people
chosen
by
me
through
all
my
discussions
with
people.
A
If
you
weren't
one
of
those
people
don't
worry
about
it,
all
viewpoints
are
going
to
be
represented
in
this
process.
If
you
want
to
be
interviewed,
let
me
know
scoping
meeting
the
IRS
scoping
meeting
in
February
22nd
existing
conditions
review.
That's
when
we
come
in
with
the
data
on
the
13th
of
March
and
then
the
Charette
start
on
April
9th
through
the
13th
and
then
another
one,
an
open
house
on
the
April
24th
and
the
second
Charette
May
21
through
24,
well
over
100
hours,
where
this
door
is
open.
C
A
Developer,
well,
let
me
just
tell
you:
was
it
Larry
I
haven't
spoken
to
the
developer.
Yet,
yes,
oh
yeah,
it's
a
stakeholder,
of
course
as
a
viewpoint
as
if
you
point
yeah
but
I
have
to
tell
you
I
mean
I'll,
be
honest.
I'll
tell
you
too,
is
that
I've
spoken
to
a
lot
of
people
and
by
the
time
we
speak
to
the
developers,
we
will
have
spoken
to
about
a
hundred
people
well
more
than
that,
okay
and
that's
because
we
want
to
listen
to
the
community
first,
when
I'm
missing
to
you
guys.
A
B
Well,
good
evening,
thanks
Bill
for
kicking
this
off
really
well,
my
name
is
Dan
parole,
ik
and
I'm.
The
principal
of
optic
host
design-
and
we
are
an
urban
design
and
architecture
firm
based
in
Berkeley,
California
and
I-
was
fortunate
enough
now,
almost
20
years
ago,
to
actually
learn
this
process
with
Bill
Leonard's.
B
He
brought
me
on
to
a
process
very
similar
to
this
one
and
a
highly
contentious
project
around
the
Pleasant
Hill
BART
station
and
I
will
say
that
that
process
was
so
contentious
that
we
actually
had
armed
guards
at
the
first
couple
of
days
of
the
charettes.
So
if
anybody
can
do
this,
I
have
faith
that
bill
can
lead
you
as
a
community
in
us
as
a
team
through
this
process,
but
I
wanted
to
just
plant
some
seeds
and
build
upon
bill's
ideas
here
about
this
design.
B
You
know
if
you're
sitting
at
a
coffee
shop
talking
to
your
friend
about
you,
know
this
great
place
in
Europe
that
you
just
traveled
to
do
you
say
well
and
yeah
I
was
just
in
Rome
and
the
density
was
80
units
per
acre.
It
was
fabulous
right
or
do
you
say
well
the
floor
area
ratio
was
three
but
I
wish.
It
would
have
been
five
four
three
point,
two
or
three
point:
three:
no
right
you
don't
it's
a
really
abstract
way
of
thinking
about
place,
making
and
community
buildings.
B
So
I
want
to
kind
of
I
want
to
strip
away
that
that
default,
that
a
lot
of
us
have
to
go
to
those
abstract
numbers
and
I
want
to
talk
more
about
the
form,
scale
and
character
and
the
quality
of
the
types
of
places
that
you
want
for
this
particular
site.
So
here's
an
example
right
both
of
these
photographs
represent
buildings
with
a
floor
area
ratio
of
1.2.
Are
they
the
same?
Do
they
create
a
similar
type
of
place?
B
Absolutely
not
so,
just
as
an
example,
both
of
these
buildings
have
a
density
or
a
dwelling
unit
per
acre
of
60
units
per
acre
building
on
the
left
is
a
five-story
podium.
Cronk
concrete
structure
parking
the
building
on
the
right
is
a
quaint,
little
two-story
courtyard
apartment.
Building
that
generates
the
same
density
right,
very
different
form,
very
different
scale.
B
The
other
important
aspect
of
this
that
bill
sort
of
kicked
off
on
is
visualizing
ideas
and
right
today
tonight
this
evening,
where
we're
gonna
be
communicating
with
words,
we're
going
to
put
some
thoughts
down
on
the
maps
but
we're
building
this
foundation
so
that
in
this
design
charrette
process,
we
can
actually
visualize
your
ideas,
because
so
we
don't
talk
abstractly
about
hey,
we
want
to.
We
want
a
mixed-use
walkable
center.
Well,
what
does
that
mean?
Is
it
three
stories?
Is
it
two
stories?
B
Is
it
one
stories
so
we'll
be
communicating
with
the
use
of
drawings
and
that's
a
really
important,
powerful
part
of
this
right
just
instead
of
just
keeping
this
abstract
with
words
we'll
be
illustrating
with
drawings
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
some
samples
and
write
these
drawings.
This
is
our
team.
We
set
up
this
design
studio
in
Cupertino
for
that
four
and
a
half
days
for
the
two
charettes.
We
not
only
have
the
design.
We
have
the
transportation
engineers.
We
have
the
economic
consultants.
B
We
have
this
robust,
multidisciplinary
team,
that's
vetting
the
viability
of
the
solution
so
that
we're
not
coming
up
with
some
really
wonderful
idea.
That's
just
not
viable
or
thinking
about
what
would
it
take
to
make
a
an
idea,
viable
and
so
well?
I
will
be
illustrating
places
that
have
small-scale.
Some
of
the
elements
might
be
a
smaller
scale.
So
there's
just
some
example:
public
spaces
set
backs
the
buildings
right
going
up
a
little
bit
more,
there
might
be
some
medium
scale
form
characteristics
we
talked
about
and
we're
going
to
illustrate
them
right.
B
B
What
would
the
place
feel
like
as
a
pedestrian,
so
so
a
lot
of
those
those
drawings
that
I
showed
you
were
kind
of
from
up
above,
which
is
really
important
for
people
understand
how
the
different
pieces
of
the
project
work
together,
how
it
relates
to
the
scale
in
the
the
buildings
and
the
neighborhoods
adjacent
to
it,
but
we
like
to
get
you
down
on
the
ground.
If
you
were
gonna
walk
down
one
of
those
new
streets,
what
would
it
look
and
feel
like?
How
would
the
building's
interface
with
it?
B
So
this
is
design
thinking,
and
this
is
what
we
get
really
excited
about,
and
this
is
the
way
that
we
most
effectively
can
communicate
with
you
all
and
help
you
get
your
ideas
down
on
paper.
So
we
use
a
lot
of
digital
3d
modeling.
What
you'll
see
over
the
course
of
the
Shred
there'll
be
a
couple
of
one
or
two
people
on
their
computer
sort
of
putting
different
scales
and
different
types
of
building
in
a
model
and
we'll
be
able
to
sort
of
circle
around
that
and
draw
over
the
top
of
it.
B
Thinking
about
the
approach
to
the
transitions
to
the
adjacent
areas,
especially
where
there's
neighborhoods
nearby,
and
so
this
is
just
an
example
right.
This
was
a
this
was
a
corridor
on
the
upper
side
of
this,
drawing
that
the
city
envisioned
sort
of
enabling
larger
mixed-use
buildings.
But
what
we
carefully
thought
about
is,
as
you
transition
down
this
drawing
and
closer
to
that
neighborhood.
What
is
the
scale?
B
How
many
of
you
can
say
those
three
three
terms
related
to
any
zoning
code
that
you've
either
looked
at
in
your
community
here
or
if
you've
looked
at
and
maybe
worked
with
zoning
codes
in
other
communities
right.
It's
it's
hard
to
say
those
terms
in
the
context
of
talking
about
owning,
but
that's
the
real
goal
here,
graphically
clear,
easy
to
understand.
Even
for
you
know
the
community
member
that
participated
in
the
process,
they
can
pick
it
up
very
graphic,
representing
the
ideas
and
very
thoughtful
about
this
changes
in
scale.
B
We
think
very
carefully
about
those
changes
so
right.
This
is
just
another
example
of
right
thinking
about
those
transitions,
starting
at
the
larger
buildings,
where
it
made
sense
along
the
lower
portion
of
this
drawing
and
transitioning
into
medium
and
smaller
buildings,
as
you
worked
her
way
through
the
rear
of
this
site
and
abutted
up
against
those
particular
neighborhoods.
B
B
Even
just
this
initial
sort
of
vision,
wall
exercise,
I
think
got
people's
their
their
creative
minds
going,
and
so
now
we
are
actually
going
to
jump
into
the
two
exercises.
Correct
and
do
we
need
to
go
over
those
exercises
up
here?
Are
we
just
going
to
do
them
by
tables?
Okay,
thank
you.
We
don't
let
bill
go
over
the
exercises.
B
A
A
By
the
way,
there
was
a
question
earlier
from
somebody
about
well:
when
will
the
committee
be
formed,
and
this
is
the
committee
there's
no
steering
committee
on
this
project?
This
is
designed
by
Charette,
okay,
and
so
don't
worry,
don't
we
like
it
like
that,
so
that's
important
to
tell
you
okay,
so
now,
let's
see,
can
the
facilitators
that
we
had
raised
their
hands.
A
So
I'm
going
to
describe
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
easy
project
and
I
think
what
we're
probably
going
to
do
since
we
have
far
more
people
than
we
expected
guess
what
Wow
we're
going
to
have
some
floating
facilitators.
So
I'm
gonna
ask
some
of
your
tables
to
self
facilitate
okay
self,
facilitate
so
I'm
going
to
ask
that
you
get
a
volunteer
at
each
table
to
be
your
facilitator.
A
A
A
There
are
seats
over
here,
so,
okay
at
the
tables,
facilitators
get
everybody,
give
everybody
three
posted
notes:
hand
out
the
post-it
notes.
Are
they
at
the
put
at
the
tables?
Do
we
have
post
notes
at
all
the
tables?
If
you
do
not
have
post-it
notes,
raise
your
hand?
Okay,
let's
get
the
post-it
notes
at
the
tables
come
on,
okay,
while
you're
at
it,
everybody
gets.
Did
everybody
sign
in
there's
a
sign-in
sheet?
Okay,
everybody
sign
in
and
introduce
yourselves
quickly,
then
we'll
get
the
posted
notes.
Okay,
sign
in
intros.
A
A
So
what
you're
going
to
do
is
do
we
have
volunteer
facilitators
or
staff
facilitators
at
every
table?
Okay,
you're
gonna.
Have
each
person
you're
going
to
do
you're
going
to
do
a
couple
of
things
step?
One
will
be
to
have
everybody.
Take
three
post-it
notes
and
write
down
three
different
ideas:
three
different
messages
about
what
the
site
is
about.
So
this
is
the
current
condition
like,
for
instance,
the
site
is
right
next
to
the
highway,
and
the
pollution
is
really
bad
there.
For
instance,
you
know
this
neighborhood
is
right
next
to
the
site.
A
This
neighborhood
is,
you
know,
very
active
next
to
the
site.
You
need
to
know
this
about
the
neighborhood.
Tell
us
what
we
need
to
know
about
this
project,
as
it
is
now
anything
anything
right.
Three
post-its
down
then
facilitators
once
they're
written
down,
you're
going
to
go
round-robin
one
at
a
time.
One
idea
at
a
time
try
and
get
the
ideas
written
on
the
map
and
put
the
post-its
on
the
board.
A
So
we
want
list
of
the
ideas
and
drawing
on
map
okay.
So
first
one
is
the
current
situation.
Just
tell
me
what
bill?
What
do?
I
need
to
know
about
this
site,
we're
from
out
of
town
anything,
that's
important
to
you.
It's
wide
open,
okay,
three
rounds
round
robin
go
around
maps
and
lists.
You
can't
screw
this
up.
A
Okay,
I'll!
Let
me
remind
you
of
something:
okay,
it's
called
timing.
There
are
1516
tables.
If
we
take
two
minutes,
apiece,
that's
over
30
minutes,
so
move
along,
try,
not
to
repeat
ideas
to
say
we
like
those
guys
and
we've
got
this
one.
So
try
not
to
repeat
try
to
keep
moving
and
Ben
will
keep
you
moving
along.
So,
okay,
we're
ready
we're
going
to
have
quiet
now,
while
we
have
our
first
table
two
minutes.
A
E
Thank
you.
We
are
awesome
table.
Okay,
we
love
Cupertino,
okay,
the
Opera.
This
is
exercise
one.
The
opportunities
are
Falco
is
the
heart
of
Cupertino.
Next
to
Main,
Street
Falco
is
close
to
Apple,
which
is
our
Innovation
Centre
Falco
is
close
to
freeways.
The
challenges
are
that
Falco
is
now
an
empty
unused
space.
It
was
a
major
shopping
center
and
it
has
trees
and
walkable
space.
Now,
okay,
exercise.
E
G
Right
so
we're
table
1
we
identified
as
a
major
opportunity
for
this
site,
housing
for
all
types
of
people,
and
we
want
it
to
be
a
and
think
that
it
could
be
an
opportunity
for
a
very
lively
place.
It
once
was,
and
we
identified
as
a
major
challenge
the
fact
that
there
is
a
lot
of
community
disagreement
about
what
to
do
here.
G
F
H
There
is
a
lot
of
currently
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
and
safety,
traffic,
congestion
and
safety
issues
and
then
right
now
it's
just
sort
of
a
hodgepodge
of
various
things.
There's
entertainment
there's
some
retail,
but
it
was
kind
of
really
lacking
some
cohesion
in
as
a
future
vision.
I
think
what
we
said
was.
H
So,
as
you
can
see
from
our
drawing,
we
have
the
future
vision
is
a
space
where
there's
mixed
retail
hospitality
office,
flexible
space,
as
well
as
some
residential
space
outdoor
green
space
and
community
park,
was
also
important
to
us
and
similar
to
the
other
groups.
We'd
like
it,
for
it
to
be
a
gateway,
entertainment
destination
with
better
mass
transit
and
perhaps
some
Park
and
Ride.
Thank.
A
F
We
drew
nothing
we
just
talked,
but
for
the
first
part
we
really
for
the
current
situation.
It's
a
dead
former
economic
driver.
It
has
potential
as
a
catalyst,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
neighbor
concerns
around
the
border
of
Elko
for
the
future
again.
Second,
the
housing
issue
about
again
diversity
of
all
kinds,
aids,
income,
disability
and
then
also
second,
the
green
aspect,
a
lot
of
trees,
open
space,
Park
that
kind
of
thing
and
then
also
a
second,
the
transit,
especially
connectivity
and
opening
up
the
wall.
K
So
for
our
opportunities
for
change,
it's
a
large
opportunity
site
in
the
city
for
housing.
There
aren't
a
lot
of
those
opportunities.
It's
the
community,
it's
the
natural
community
center,
so
there's
a
lot
of
downtown
potential
there
and
some
of
our
positives,
it's
a
prime
location,
near
freeways
and
major
thoroughfares,
and
it's
also
near
a
major
employment
site.
So
we
looked
at
that
as
a
potential
positive.
K
Also,
inclusive
housing
and
spaces
for
all
people,
housing
should
be
tiered
and
scaled
to
the
neighboring
office
and
single-family
homes,
not
just
studio
apartments
but
housing
for
families,
and
we
also
have
an
entertainment
center
again
with
amenities
for
families
as
well.
We
talked
about
mini-golf,
we
talked
about
a
Performing
Arts
Center,
not
just
tuck
focused
stuff,
but
also
arts
focused
stuff.
L
We
agreed
with
what
everybody's
been
focusing
on.
There
were
two
elements
that
we
had
that
hasn't
been
mentioned
so
far.
One
is
that
we
felt
like
there
was
some
history
to
the
location.
The
name
has
history,
and
we
should
appreciate
the
fact
that
it
has
been
an
important
part
of
the
community
for
a
long
time
and
can
continue
to
be
so.
M
M
So
in
our
future
state
we
focused
on
housing
quite
a
bit:
affordable
housing
focusing
on
the
whole
diverse
community
of
needs
for
affordable
housing,
whether
it's
assisted
senior,
developmentally
disabled
just
below
market.
But
the
whole
range
needs
to
be
addressed.
We
want
to
see
open
space
and-
and
we
want
to
have
good
setbacks,
so
we
had
I
think
a
really
great
idea.
L
O
All
right,
we
are
a
table
14
and
for
the
first
exercise
we
talked
about
the
historical
value
of
the
place,
the
walkability
and
it's
an
ideal
destination
for
the
various
communities
around
us
and
there's
a
lot
of
services
and
assets
already
there,
such
as
the
theater
ice
rink.
So
on
so
forth.
In
terms
of
the
the
things
that
we
thought
we
could
change
were:
traffic
sub-par,
transit,
lack
of
housing
options
for
a
whole
range
like
for
the
whole
community
and
then
not
enough
entertainment
or
being
aware
of
impact
on
Russia,
though
nearby
residential
neighborhoods.
P
Hi
we
AG
we're
here
at
Table
ten,
and
we
agreed
with
pretty
much
what
everyone's
saying.
We
had
a
couple
things
that
were
specific.
We
actually
called
out
the
movie
theater
as
being
a
really
nice
amenity
for
us.
As
far
as
opportunities
for
change
traffic
congestion
was
a
top
one
for
us,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
current
site
is
concrete
and
it's
very
grim.
P
Okay,
a
couple
of
things
that
we
pulled
out:
green
parks
at
street
level
enough
space
that
maybe
we
could
even
have
a
soccer
field
but
walking
past
a
lot
in
that
green
space
and
then
a
couple
other
ones
we're
walking
retail
with
shops,
meaning
you
could
walk
through
the
retail
and
also
have
some
green
element
to
it.
It
wouldn't
feel
like
just
all
concrete
and
affordable
housing,
but
that's
been
discussed.
Q
Q
So
that's
both
an
opportunity
and
a
challenge
as
far
as
the
vision
goes,
similar
themes,
again,
mixed-use
retail
housing,
etc,
as
well
as
mixed
income,
age
and
demographics
of
the
site
and
the
use
entertainment
spaces
having
entertainment
venues
having
a
sense
of
place,
a
place
where
people
can
go
and
as
well
having
world-class
opportunities
for
people
to
just
get
outside.
Finally,
the
big
thing
was
car-free,
not
carefree,
car-free
that
we
have
transit
options
on
and
around
the
site.
I
Okay,
so
we
here
the
people
with
no
table,
we
agreed
in
the
first
section
that
it's
definitely
an
area
that
needs
transportation
and
Traffic
Solutions.
We
all
talked
about
the
wasted
potential
of
the
site.
We
talked
about
the
dying
retail,
with
obviously
the
opportunity
that
comes
with
the
this
site.
In
our
second
section,
we
focused
on
four
topics.
The
first
was
affordable
housing.
The
second
was
alternatives
to
driving.
The
third
was
mixed
to
use
and
the
fourth
was
a
wow
factor.
You
know
when
you're
looking
at
it
something.
R
Everyone,
okay,
so
for
the
existing
conditions
that
we
are
working
through,
I
think
our
top
three
issues
with
the
site
was
well.
One
positive
is
that
right
now
we
know
we
realize
that
it's
that
kind
of
at
the
intersection
of
280
and
it's
kind
of
at
this
is
like
transportation,
art
like
central
points.
R
I
S
Next
to
the
freeway,
because
we
have
large
firms
and
I
happen
to
be
a
farm
expert.
So
I
was
hoping.
I
get
my
farm
idea
in
here,
but
these
farms
are
regenerative
farms,
which
means
that
they
produce
seven
times
more
food
than
what
we're
used
to
growing.
So
there's
the
very
good
possibility
that
the
food
for
all
the
people
living
here
could
be
grown
here.
S
S
So
we
have
the
farm
and
then
all
the
Bloor,
our
housing
units
and
then
between
the
housing
units
and
the
farm
is
a
pedestrian
walkway,
and
so
everything
opens
out
to
activities
looking
out
on
either
open
space
or
a
farm,
and
the
lower
level
of
the
housing
is
retail.
There's
a
lot
of
interest
in
retail
at
our
table
and
the
red
are
all
as
I
say,
pedestrian
walkways
and
connectivity.
I
think
that
we
echo
what
everyone
else
has
said.
F
I
T
T
It's
a
dying,
mall
and
we'd
like
to
see
it
revitalized
in
some
way,
that's
responsible
to
our
community
and
to
its
aesthetics,
we're
going
to
miss
the
overpass
and
the
fun
architecture
that
was
there,
but
we
think
it
needs
a
new
school
to
address
crowding.
It
needs
a
place
that
people
can
walk
safely,
so
we
need
to
fix
up
the
dangerous
overpasses
and
intersections,
and
it
needs
some
kind
of
public
transit,
light,
rail
or
BART
and
bikeability.
T
Lastly,
we
want
some
kind
of
environmental
responsibility
both
to
the
planet
and
to
the
people
who
inhabit
the
space,
so
we'd
like
to
see
fade
and
we'd
like
to
push
Wolf
Road
underground
into
a
tunnel
provide
for
underground
parking
and
make
it
walkable
bring
back
a
farmers
market
on
on
the
open
plazas.
Above
that
those
are
those
are
our
aims
for
Belko.
U
There's
this
table
number
seven
and
it
had
a
bunch
of
school
people,
so
you
could
guess
that
a
few
things
here
that
we've
not
been
mentioned,
it
is
this
particularly
keen
has
close
proximity
to
schools.
It
has
the
high
school
Cupertino,
High
School,
it
has
elementary
schools,
and
so
part
of
the
consideration
has
to
be
how
that
can
integrate
and
provide
opportunities,
particularly
for
the
high
school
kids,
so
that
they
have
a
place
to
eat.
You
know
and
a
place
to
gather
the.
U
V
So
table
7,
we
talked
about
a
space
where
people
work
and
live
together
which
incorporates
a
lot
of
ideas
that
have
already
been
talked
about
tonight:
affordable
housing,
you
know
combined
with
mixed-use,
but
that
having
people
and
we
we
had
some
conversations
around
what
constituted
working
and
living
here
in
one
space
and
how
big
of
a
radius
that
that
incorporated
so
more
thinking
to
do
around
that.
But
that
was
one
of
our
major
ideas.
We
talked
a
lot
about
the
impacts
of
traffic
and
that
you
know
as
a
community.
V
A
lot
of
us
experience
the
traffic
patterns
through
the
area.
You
know
on
our
way
to
somewhere
else,
but
for
the
residents
who
live
nearby
to
Valko,
it's
personal,
it's
part
of
their
experience
of
what
home
is
for
them,
and
so
we
had
some
ideas
around
things
that
have
already
been
mentioned:
mass
transportation,
some
sort
of
aerial
connectors
between
maybe
Apple
Campus,
2
or
Main
Street.
V
We
talked
about
ways
to
reduce
traffic
and/or,
maybe
even
create
some
sort
of
utopia
of
no
traffic
to
be
of
a
really
high
priority
when
envisioning
this
space,
and
then
we
talked
about
indoor
and
outdoor
spaces,
both
for
both
children
and
adults
to
explore
in
play.
So
yes
to
open
parks
and
spaces,
but
maybe
also
yes,
to
open
spaces
indoors
to
collaborate
and
create
that
sense
of
community
for
us,
maybe
makerspace
ideas
or
or
other
ways
to
explore
ways
to
play
both
inside
and
outside
together
as
a
community.
A
A
Okay,
so
we
know
who
is
at
the
table
and
what
you
did.
Okay,
I
want
to
congratulate
you.
This
is
just
the
beginning,
I
direct
you
to
the
website.
That
is
on
the
handout,
the
dates,
especially
the
existing
conditions,
review
and
then,
of
course,
the
Charette
they'll
be
much
more
about
the
Charette
coming
up.
A
The
website
is
going
to
become
a
very
participatory
place
where
you
can
go
and
find
out
things
and
everything
that's
done
here
and
in
the
interviews
is
going
to
go
on
the
website
under
what
people
are
saying,
you'll
be
able
to
go
there
and
make
comments
get
into
the
conversation.
Once
we
come
up
with
designs,
those
designs
will
go
on
the
website.
You
can
comment
on
the
designs,
so
you
guys
are
great.
Thank
you
for
coming.
We'll
see
you
again
next
time.
Thank
you.
