Measuring the purlin lengths. We had a few issues with the natural bending of wood.

The CNC sheets during production.

Sean the grasshopper Lyon adjusting the CNC sheet layout. It took just over a day to cut the 8 exterior ply sheets.

Plastic hunting for DJ booth facades.

The proposal meeting was with multiple members of Manchester students union and the Pangea organisation team. We pitched our concepts to the staff and answered there questions regarding the design.
