Cross Crits Schedule

1st years,

As already discussed in our DR tutorials on Friday, please find the schedule for the cross crits below.
Please be present for both days, not just your own tutorial. It will be extremely beneficial to see the work across the other units, hence the reason for this format.
Make use of it.

Again this is a pin-up to discuss your DR project, not just the programme. Prepare well and ensure that you succinctly introduce your programme and design agenda before addressing particular aspects of the scheme that you are investigating as part of your report.

UNITSIXTEEN: Design Realisation Tutorial Groups 
2012-13

Introduction:

The unit has been divided into two tutorial groups for meetings with all consultants, and for division over the two cross crit review days. At all times assemble as a group in advance then arrive on time as discussed. If you miss the group arrival you will miss the session. When visiting the offices of consultants, its vital you come prepared. Each event has a specified topic for discussion that day, bring drawings, draft text, references, keep a file supporting the development of each section as your reports develop.
