1.    Why is it important to recognize challenges and barriers during the charrette and then identify solutions?

Because if you dont find out what is the problem and what will not work for a solution then you will find your solution will have many flaws in it.

2.    Among the ideas or thoughts that you prepared for the charrette, were there any that were disregarded by the group? Why? Do you think it was the right decision?

Moving the a la cart line to the doorway and adding another line was an idea that got shot down because it would cost alot more and you would still face the problem of overcrowding the doorway. Yes i do believe it was the righ decision and we came up with a better plan.

3.    What is the value of using a charrette to investigate the feasibility and development of a building project? Describe specific advantages over a traditional approach in which the client meets with an architect and the architect develops the plan.

The standpoint of everyone who uses it is looked upon and taken into value. In a trditional approach a new plan might just make it broken for someone else. 

4.    Identify and explain a potential drawback of the plan your team drafted.

Our plan is pretty solid and tried to develop it from everyones standpoint so we wouldn't have any drawbacks.
