SmartCode Local Master Class
The SmartCode is a positive solution for the problem of sprawling, unsustainable patterns of development and the decline of downtown business districts. The SmartCode template is free to any municipality or urban design firm, but it must be calibrated for local character. Bungalow Studio is offering intensive master classes in SmartCode Version 9 calibration as small charrette-style sessions led by Sandy Sorlien. SmartCode Local holds October sessions in Philadelphia and June sessions in Rhode Island. We are also available to travel to your planning office or design firm to train your staff onsite. SmartCode Local is the ideal followup to a SmartCode Workshop by PlaceMakers, a Smart Growth School course, or a Form-Based Codes course by FBCI. We run SC Local as a hands on, site-specific, PowerPoint-free three-day retreat. Participants will learn to analyze urbanism, complete a Synoptic Survey, translate conventional zoning to Transect Zones, apply Special Requirements, and follow steps for complete calibration of the model SmartCode for local conditions. Each person will work on an individual calibration after the whole team explores and discusses the study area. The class is structured for up to 6 people (a small charrette team) who are already familiar with the SmartCode. SmartCode Local Philadelphia: October 20-22, 2009 SmartCode Local Rhode Island: June 2010 The class is intended for:

I really do feel like I came away with a much better understanding of the SmartCode. Thank you for opening my eyes to a code that I had a lot of preconceived notions about. I am really excited about getting to use this code in practice." - Leanne Voit, Planner, Buffalo, NY |
