Day 3: Site Visit

We visited the Portland Basin Museum for a site visit. We examined the workshop space while discussing our design ideas. Later, we explored the museum to understand its context. There were many engaging exhibits, models, films, and displays showing what life was like in Tameside during the 1920s.

Before moving on to further brainstorming, everyone shared their initial concepts with our client, Rachel. To encourage collaboration, B.A. students were asked to team up with others who had similar design ideas. M.Arch and MA.AR students listened to the presentations and offered helpful feedback.

Also, Patrick 3D-scanned the sheepfold and the sheep model inside, creating a complete digital version. Rachel mentioned that the sheep is a favourite among visitors. Patrick also brought a drone to capture aerial photos of the museum, which was a great addition to the visit.

The day ended with a group discussion. B.A. students were given the task of developing their design proposals further.
