Today we had our group reviews, presenting our ideas to 6 of the events groups. It was interesting to see what other groups had achieved over the past two weeks, and to hear the feedback given to each group.

We started today by progressing our ideas further, and by starting our presentation sheets. In the afternoon, we had a visit from Jim Chapman, and we presented our ideas to him. With each pair, he discussed his views, and told us what we could do to improve our sheets and overall ideas.

Today, Polly Bentham came in to talk to us abut her 'Save Oxford Road Corner' campaign. She spoke about the issues her and her team have faced, and helped answer any questions we had. We then spoke briefly about our ideas, and discussed how they could help raise awareness of her campaign. She also helped with the development of our proposals by providing some information we were unaware of, and provided some suggestions for some of our projects.

Today we looked at floor plans, sections and elevations to plan our proposal in more depth. In our pairs we started to diagram, sketch and use simple 3D modelling to help portray our ideas.

We then went to the new location of the cinema, the 'Home' building. we compared the two, and met after lunch to discuss our thoughts on the two buildings.

On Monday we were introduced to our event, and we were put in groups of four (two first, two second years) to go away and find precedent studies of buildings that have been remodelled. Our group found the Cube Houses by Piet Blom. These houses are made for youths about to be released from juvenile centres. After presenting our findings we discussed whether they were forms of intervention, installation or insertion.
