Pau Hana Review

Friday, June 24th, was the Pau Hana review, where interns were to present their analysis and documentation in front of SHADE mentors and critics.  Special guests Jeanine Centuori, Grant Murakami, Nathalie Razo, Vanessa Stockton and Denise Bekaert joined the interns to help them better represent their information graphically and effectively for the next phase of the project.  Thank you to all SHADE mentors, interns and critics who came!

Charrette with SHADE, DPP and PBR

Thursday, June 23th, the DPP and PBR hosted the Waipahu TOD Action Plan Charrette, where they discussed the key places and points of the areas visited on the June 24th Bus Tour.  At this stage, the SHADE interns took notes on areas of improvement, and made notes on areas to focus on moving forward into this project.  This information will help project a clearer boundary for the interns to start the next step of the pre-design phase.
