Experimentation & Feasibility Module

Last week we received the briefing for the second part on the MA, Experimentation and Feasibility. After being placed into tutorial groups by tutor Stephen Bailey, We were split from Chantel and aquired two new group members. myself, Jo and richard discussed with Stephen our ideas and proposals for the project ahead, he seemed to be quite impressed, during our group tutorial next week we intend to go into further detail. For the rest of the session, before I departed for Amsterdam, I discussed with the Eco-Solutions team possible avenues for us to take; The idea I got from the group was to develop research on urban re-generation with each member specialising in different areas.

So far we have established the most important rules for working, amongst our team there is a strong bond of trust and positive work ethic which we hope to maintain throughout.
I consider this to be an exciting opportunity which has already began to reflect in my personal confidence. I find it reassuring to have tutors who we have never really worked with before requesting to speak with us about Sustees such as Paul Denison.

Alison Johnson approached us earlier this week, following an email she recieved by Paul to arrange a meeting in the staff lounge regarding a project he saw in Turin.
