Group 14 FLOAT (Posted 22 May 2025 11:00) – MSA LIVE 25

Day 8!

We had a great day meeting with Jack from Donald Insall who are our heritage consultants on this project! In the morning, we prepared our presentations for the informal review, scanning in sketches to show our process and work-in-progress designs to evidence the development of these initial concepts, from jellyfish to Scandinavian-inspired pontoons. This illustrates the array and variety of designs and the different scales of ambition these present for the client to consider.

After lunch, we walked over as a group to their Manchester office in the Northern Quarter. Some of the feedback we received in the meeting was to diagram our ideas more to show the flexibility of the spaces, which is key to the brief. Jack was also keen to see the human activity in plan and section to show the different types of uses that the designs afford.

This visit was a great opportunity for the undergraduates to present in a professional setting and ask any questions, both project-wise and career-wise! We’re looking forward to implementing this feedback and finalising our designs over the last two days.
