19 May


On 19th May we will have a quick but intense group presentation of site analysis and a discussion of opportunities and constraints and then carry on to do desk crits re developing the narrative and initial design ideas (tectonic ideas as well as spatial sequencing as well discussion of the play between living/working/trading/displaying).

Please select some precedents of Galleries (and other inspiring buildings/openings) and start to upload them onto your blog sites.
