DAY SIX

Planters and seating area studies.
The initial sketches show different designs that integrate both functionality and sustainability - including solar panels, water collection tanks and reusing materials.

DAY SEVEN

Development of the events space on the Carpark rooftop. The students have chosen to place the open- air theatre towards the north of the site - allowing the Manchester skyline to become the backdrop.

DAY NINE

Development of the skateboard park. The ramps can be constructed and packed away easily.
