Day Six - Presentation Day - We presented our final schemes and explained our designs to tutors and other groups. It was interesting to see other events groups presentations and what they had produced as part of events week. Our feedback seemed to be good and overall i think our project went well.

Day Three - On Wednesday we started to develop ideas and our initial concepts. We began with the idea of creating an interior garden space and then developed it further by linking it to the Cornerhouse cafe/bookshop building. We presented our ideas to the fifth years, who gave us some precedents to look at and gave us some ideas on how we could present our designs.

Day Two - In the morning we did a site visit to the Cornerhouse and did some site analysis, including sketches, diagrams and photographs. We diagrammed our initial feelings towards the site and the how the building related to the surrounding context. We then visited 'HOME', to compare it with the original Cornerhouse building. In the afternoon we started to think about our initial ideas and how we may evolve the buildings.

Day one - On the first day we were introduced to the project and given the brief. We then went away in small groups to find a case study of a building or space that been altered in some way from its original intended purpose. We studied the Highline in New York and put together a small presentation with our findings.
