Master Planning
Master Planning
requires the skills and input from a wide range of professional fields:
owner’s representatives in facility management and
administration, research, fundraising, visitor services, marketing,
education, engineering and in zoological instances,
animal management/husbandry professionals and veterinary
sciences.
As consultants, we count on experts in the field and the client to
bring
forward the needed criteria to make the plan fit the application.
Using
an interactive workshop format, Ursa weaves together all of the
important
elements to create individually tailored Master Plans for our clients.
PLANNING WORKSHOPS
Workshop-based Design
Process with Client Team
A series of
intensive on-site Workshops from Master Planning, Programming,
Schematics and Design Development Phases to move quickly but
comprehensively through the complex design issues of the project.
Each of these
workshops are summarized by a Workshop Manual, which reviews the entire
session's progress and points to the goals and objectives of the next
workshop. During the period between workshops, Ursa refines the
design documents and accurately depicts the design intent and concept.
