Final day. Our work was finally presented in the Business lecture theatre by the 5th years who have done an absolutely fantastic job as they managed to go through each group's concepts within the total of only 10 minutes. Well done guys!

Every group's work was presented to the 5th years before they gave us feedback and advice on how to present them in our sheets for the final hand in.

Another shot of the installation showing the hanging debris at the side and a series of stained glass towers installed at the end of the visitors path, representing the stained glass lost after the bomb.

This is what the final model looks like when installed inside the church. Full credits to the other group who did an amazing job on the church model and kindly shared it with us. Teamwork at its best!

Laser cutting our final model (scale 1:100), with the help of '123D Make' application which transformed a 3d digital model into 2d pieces ready to be printed and slotted into other pieces. However, the program failed to calculate the appropriate size of the slots and they ended up not fitting into each other. This meant one of our passionate group members had to fix each slot in Autocad before reprinting them. Lesson Learnt!

After a few discussions, we had come up with (yet) another strong concept, which is going to be our final design. A timber mesh panel will be installed as a roof while a hole in the middle represents the bomb's effect towards the church. The rest of the debris will still be installed at the edges of the church, providing some space in the middle for the visitors to circulate around.

Our group's very first concept gravitated towards the idea of having the lost debris of the church hang on several strings attached from the top of the church. However, we had to take the church's lack of roof into account and come up with an appropriate solution to what these strings are to be attached to.

A great day for a site visit on a sunny Monday in Liverpool. It only took us around 15 minutes to walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station to the Church of St. Luke, or the Bombed Out Church. We then spent around 45 minutes walking around and exploring the site for the first time, before heading off to the Everyman Theatre for some coffee as we discussed our plans towards the next two weeks of this event.
