Another quick (figuratively) roundtable meeting to discuss the tasks assigned yesterday. In a large group like this, communication is key to remaining on task and avoiding any surprises at the last minute when assembling all the material. Luckily our group are all sharp crayons when it comes to collaboration! Hurrah!

The group assembled for a quick site visit under the grey Manchester skies to refresh our visions before we met Rev Jayne Prestwood to present our initial proposals. The meeting went down extremely well with all the designs received with enthusiasm by Jayne, after which we divided up some tasks between group members in order to ensure that the relevant work will be completed. Its been a great first week and Myself, Nat and Bry are really excited to see the work becoming one homogeneous project that has a very real chance of progressing into a built form. Top Stuff!

Today's meeting is in full swing with quite a few really well expressed proposals based on yesterdays solidified concepts. Big topics for today are addressing planting, pathways, and water features, helped along greatly by our members from the Landscape Architecture course. The Architects have been busy too, working on a a few different schemes for a centrepiece structure for the Peace Garden. We're seeing some really exciting proposals based on the intimate use of materials to create an inviting and calming atmosphere. The group has also showed impressive foresight with the consideration of the actual implementation of the scheme, acknowledging the different stages in construction with relation to budget constraints. Keep up the good work people!

After a whirlwind first few days the Transgression in Peaces group came together in the glorious sunshine on the 4th floor roof terrace for a tutorial to discuss everyone's initial ideas and the direction of the project. We managed to discuss and channel the wealth of fantastic individual initial proposals down in into a coherent direction for the group to focus on. We agreed to meet the next day to further refine the proposal. Fantastic effort by all involved!
