Finally finished group site survey!

The last weeks of Architectural Design have been spent shifting the focus from the Body/Seat to the Site, in which the final project will be situated.

Each tutorial group with different sites along the Royal Mile in Edinburgh Old Town, we did a range of different surveys - myself considering the historical context of the site.

However, at the review last Friday it was apparent by the tutors grimaces that our efforts were insufficient. In fact it was the collation of surveys to a presentable standard, including proper technical drawings and a thought through model that was lacking!

In other words, it was back to the drawing boards (actually still haven't seen one in the studio this year) for another week. Slightly more organised and with invaluable help of NoddlePod, we've finally completed the survey - and this time, I would say, with success.

And now, we're thrown back into reality/freedom of individual design for a "room" and later museum. More on that later!
