We spent the whole day at the Margam Discovery Centre with the 9 groups developing their schemes for the three sites. In the morning, the students worked up their initial concepts, looking into how their structures will look and feel, materials that may be used, where they should site them, all the time keeping in mind the brief they had been set. Beginning in the early afternoon, the students presented their initial ideas to the group through quick sketches, models and precedent images. The tutors, visiting stakeholders and engineers pushed the students to address the challenges of the project brief to infuse Welsh history and playful design.

Clint Fowler StonemasonThere was a full critique of each of the groups by tutors and guests. Feedback and discussions between the groups about each of the proposals considered practicalities of the schemes, justification for the designs and the next steps for the next 24 hours. Students worked hard into the evening perfecting their designs and thinking about how they would present their schemes to stakeholders at the National Botanical Gardens of Wales the following day, in the first round of presentations.
