MSA Live 26

Day 1

Today marked the beginning of MSA Live 2026! We received our project briefs, got together in our groups to do some ice-breakers and begin organising the project, and met our client. Safe to say that Group 27 are very excited to work with Kay from Blossom Charity in Wythenshawe Park over the coming months!

Hi everyone!

My name is Daria. I’m Russian and previously lived in Prague, where I completed most of my education. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture at MSA, where I’m learning more about how form, structure, and space interact to shape human experience. I’m looking forward to taking part in the MSA Live Project, collaborating with new people, and learning valuable skills from my peers.

Hi everyone,

I’m Atiqah, a fifth-year Master’s student. I completed my undergraduate degree in Malaysia, where I first became interested in how architecture can shape experiences and everyday life. I’m excited to continue developing my design thinking and to learn from the MSA LIVE community project.

Session 1 – Meet the team & the Collaborators
Hello! We are Group 10. We are collaborating with Hyde Young People’s Enterprise (HYPE) where we are working to create a youth sports complex for the Hyde Community. We are looking forward to getting stuck into this project and exploring our creative ideas to bring a positive change to the community.
In our first session today, we began with an icebreaker! We got to know one another and learnt about our background, architectural interests, hobbies and skills that can contribute to this project. We quickly discovered that putting our skills together will allow us to perform to high standards and create a collaborative working environment for the duration of this project.

Meet the team!
Hello we are group 25 and we are working with Oswald Primary School to collaborate with the Year 4 students, giving them the opportunity to share their ideas and creativity in the design of a new nursery built as an extension to their school.
