The first of 3-public workshop, on August 29 the RE:BEACH project teams alongside the 3-design teams shared sand retention pilot project concepts for Oceanside. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in an “Open House”, meeting each design team, asking questions directly to designers, and providing input on the concepts. The formal presentations were recorded and can be watched back by clicking the button “EVENT RECORDING”. As well as a recording of presentations, more detail on the 3-design teams concepts can be viewed by clicking on the “EVENT SLIDES” button.

The second design round of the competition was about refining and tailoring solutions based on (1) feedback in the first Public Workshop and (2) increasing depth of knowledge about the particularities of sand retention in Oceanside, CA. In this round, teams have selected a 1-design concept to refine. Similar to the first Public Workshop, this workshop is NOT about ranking or selecting a design idea/concept. Instead, this session is about informing the design directions towards best design for Oceanside. We wanted to continue to bring the public into conversation with design teams, their concept and ideas, and encourage consideration around “use” and “tradeoffs” and “community fit”.

The final workshop enabled each design team to present a final, refined, sand retention pilot project for Oceanside’s beaches. This workshop signaled the final phase of the RE:BEACH design competition process and provide a final moment for public review of the concepts and designs.
