Afternoon of discussion and review of notes, site analysis etc.

Afternoon brainstorming. After our meeting with Roger Burton, RIBA we decided to revise our meetings for the last 2 days by putting out ideas and suggestions of what we could do with the site.  We then looked at some precedents and went on to research further the site: history, articles, the community, the envisioned school to be build there. We decided to devide our presentation as follows: what was there? what is there now? what has been planed for the future? what we plan?
