Group Two are currently developing a scheme specifically for people following a stroke and trauma.
Following this mornings review with Pozzoni, the group have worked hard to develop initial concept designs for the site which were presented to the group for further feedback at the end of the day.

After the initial board swapping, groups continued to work on ideas and drawings to present at the end of the day...

Groups were then asked to swap boards to share their research with one another. This is vital within the group to ensure teams work with one another, sharing ideas and advice.

As the research became quite substantial, the team then began to formulate it all together into a presentation.

Working under such a short timescale was designed to teach the group how to work collaboratively under pressure.

The entire team worked extremely hard to help each other with the research, and in particularly how this could be applied to a site.

We also had fun networking with each other, which is an important skill to learn within practice.

Throughout the course of the day the groups worked hard together, formulating their initial findings.

As a team we taught them how the project would be applied to a professional project, within an architectural practice.
