-Day 1-

On our first day of the action weeks we welcomed our undergraduate students to Group 4!

Today involved getting straight onto site for a tour from our collaborator in order to get to grips with the design brief as well as to experience the user navigation of the site. We heard from our collaborator what needs to be included within our designs - can't wait to see what the design groups come up with!

-Day 2 & Day 3-

A busy few days in uni this week for Group 4! Our undergrad students have been working hard in developing initial concepts for the thermal sauna and surrounding site - the tracing paper and markers have been out and we're seeing some great collaboration between the students.

A slight change of plan to our action week, instead of community outreach on Wednesday, we have moved to displaying the students' work on the site on Friday for a pre-planned event due to low footfall in the site. Looking forward to seeing everyone's presentation boards and hearing people's feedback -- hopefully this will be good guidance for next week.
