Session 1: The Final Presentation

After weeks of meetings, surveys, revisions, publication edits, and more layout changes than any of us would like to admit, today was finally presentation day.

The session began with final checks, rehearsals, and making sure everyone knew their sections before presenting our finished proposal to tutors, peers, and collaborators. Although our own collaborator unfortunately couldn’t attend in person, we had been in contact beforehand and received really positive feedback, which reassured us that the scheme successfully responded to the brief and the needs of the space.

The presentation itself felt like a strong way to wrap up the project. It was rewarding to finally share the work after seeing how much it had developed from the early brainstorming sessions into a resolved proposal backed by community feedback, site analysis, and collaborative design decisions.

We also received encouraging commentary from tutors, particularly around the value of reflecting honestly on the collaborative process throughout the project. Looking back, the project became about much more than just the final design outcome. It was also a lesson in communication, adaptability, compromise, and learning how to work through challenges as a team.

A slightly surreal end to a very busy few weeks, but a satisfying one. Definitely earned the post-presentation food and coffee afterwards.
