Day 2: The schedule of events was slightly disturbed by the van hire - which took longer than expected. Once Shaun, the man with the van, acquired the van, himself, Leo, Zohir & Jess were off collecting pallets and bags of soil from all around Manchester in the sun, wind, rain and snow. They acquired 20 pallets and 20 bags of soil from a friendly vegetable grower in Longsight.

Day 2: The material library group was set in studio continuing with producing the catalogue. The tasks were split between people finalising the 3D drawings and others putting them together. Members of the outreach material gathering who were not involved in the transport joined the former team on producing precise survey drawings of the site and gathering information about the possible production outputs. This involved precedent analysis and finding more necessary materials for the build.

Day two began with an aura of intelligence and excitement. Divided into three teams, one for each wall of the courtyard, the students began to draw up the elevations of the site utilising their various strengths of drawing methods. These drawings were then combined to make a model of the site.

Day 1: The group staying at the Miners was responsible for setting up a material library, which consisted of producing a precise survey of the items found and drawing them up in 3D ready to design with in conjunction with other materials found by the outreach group. The group was given a precedent of such practice by Al Borde arquitectos based in Ecuador who consistently make their living and community projects happen by their rigorous approach to dealing with disused materials.

While the clouds bringing snow darkened the room, we attempted to master the complexities of the light switch in our studio room. A more challenging feat than you might expect. Once this was achieved, group two began discussing, mind mapping and drawing initial sketches for furniture that could be installed in the courtyard. Their initial thoughts stem from the scrap materials found within the artist studio and bar area, mostly wooden pallets. The two groups will continue their exciting journey of exploration over the following days to hopefully reach their final destination of design by Friday. By then, a combined proposal will be reached featuring furniture, planting and shelter for the users of the studio.

After the gruelling task of drawing up elevations and plans, moral was low. We decided to have some group design sessions, during the afternoon snow shower, where we all huddled around the drawing board and discussed ideas. Each person conjured up thoughts around four different concepts and then formed two groups based around people with similar concepts.
