The aim of the Ideas Review is to demonstrate the design tactics and approach to the brief and site, testing a strategy of intervention for the chosen building and beginning to explore form and programme.

Starting from a defined brief, focusing on the actions/functions, users and context, the Ideas Review helps our young designers to make sure that the narrative, user and actions/behaviors defined in the brief, are beginning to translate into spatial solutions.

They worked with diagrams and simple models first and contextualizing these within the building envelope, then with a range of materials that allowed them to manipulate form and articulate the relationship between old and new that you want to establish.
