A visual highlighting how their design can be incorporated onto the site which expresses the excitement of match day.

Looking at the three most important junctions for the canopy to a higher level of detail so that the client could move the design forward with future contractors regarding the eventual construction of the scheme.

Creating plans with enough detail to enable the client to fully understand the canopy design so that it can be easily built with approval.

Final phasing stage sees each side of the ground with new stands, whilst retaining the low scale boundary of the raised walkway along the residential edge of the site.

Stand integrated in to the landscape to the end of the pitch, working with the site topography to mask the scale of intervention

Small stands added to the northern edge of the pitch and a raised walkway added to the site boundary closest to residential buildings

All potential designs either canopy or stand can all be modularly replicated across all of the site in order to create an aesthetic identity.

Working with instead of against the existing topography allows for a larger insertion with minimal disruption to the urban fabric.

Interpreting the form of the existing roof could initially only be understood through sketching due to its undulating gables.

Canopy with structure. Covered standing for those wishing to watch the match. Inspiration taken from traditional football stadiums.

Looking like the ground is well on its way to being fit for a conference level team. Just a few more promotions to go for Wythenshawe then.

Grand Stand Concept Canopy ,done by Simeon and Dom, in situ. Not sure what the neighbours will think! A fair few years in the future before they will need to worry about that.

DAY 6: Looking into the main canopy's design. Working to solve problems through the detailing of the structure.

DAY 6: A really productive morning of planning the site model. After a few issues with it yesterday, both first and second years have really collaborated well today to ensure that it will serve a good purpose, and primarily look good to host our proposals to show the client.

A successful site visit to Wythenshawe AFC where the group were able to interact with the client and ask some vital questions. The afternoon was spent putting initial thoughts and ideas on paper.

After a morning of introducing the project and a great lecture by Trevor Stevenson on the history of the football ground the group split up to find and analyse some precedents before the presenting their findings at the end of the day.

Wythenshawe AFC clubhouse. Looking to add shelter to this area to create a standing area for spectators.

Site visit to Wythenshawe AFC. Frosty morning to showcase the need for development of the outdoor seating area. A key element to this project is to add some protection from the elements here.

Pitch side at Wythenshawe AFC this morning. Great to meet up with Andy and Pete to finalise the brief. Looking forward to getting going on this exciting project.
