The mission of the Rochester Regional Community Design Center is to be a resource, assisting municipalities and citizens of the Greater Rochester Region in defining, understanding, promoting and implementing concepts of design excellence and sustainability for the built environment and public realm.
Who we are:
The RRCDC is a group of design professionals, planners and citizens with a shared interest in defining, promoting and helping to implement design excellence and sustainability in the built environment.
The RRCDC, along with volunteer design professionals, will help you organize, plan, and facilitate your community design charrette. The RRCDC offers charrette techniques that emulate the excellence of nationally recognized models. We offer the Design Center Studio Space for planning and organizing meetings. We will produce drawings and reports to help communities bring their visions for their built environment to reality. See examples of our work here.
What is a charrette? Information from the National Charrette Institute.
The RRCDC design gallery opened at the Hungerford Complex in January, 2006. This gallery displays the works of urban designers, architects, landscape architects, planners, artists, craftsmen and other design professionals who enhance our communities through their contributions to the built environment and to the public realm.
Design professionals are available for consultation to individuals, community groups and municipalities. We also offer graphic presentations about principles of good urban design to professional organizations, community groups, and zoning boards. See examples of our work here.
The RRCDC offers our Urban Design Resource Library which includes books and magazines about urban design, photographs, and a collection of Municipal Planning Documents.
This space is available for neighborhood meetings relating to urban design issues.
