Team photo time! The last two weeks have been very intense with the students having to work at a very fast pace on lots of new concepts. The community group and architect were really impressed with the quality of the work, and the enthusiasm with which the students approached the task. This was the first time dealing with an actual client for many of them, and they did so in a professional manner which is to be commended!

The students all presented their schemes exceptionally well and received some insightful and positive feedback from the community group and a local architect (Jane Leach).

The clients were pleased with what had been created so far and the students gained valuable experience in pitching ideas to clients,
