I am staying with fellow landscape architecure students Nick and Kenji in the Hotel Stars, basic but comfortable and meeting our main aim of being a few minutes walk from uni as we knew we would be spending a lot of time there...we werent wrong - day one involved a 13 hour day...
We arrived to coffee and croissant and a very good lecture from he Director of urbanisation of Lille. As Nick said, it was a good example of how to present and everyone was impressed: clear slides, very good overview of their strategy and what they want for the future, what has come before and overall context.
We then headed onto site in different groups and Nick found some of the french students who got us onto site quickly (after much debate about which bus though) and Will then suggested we each have a task. I did a photographic survey and between us we got hard and soft materials, views and viewpoints, sketches and level changes. On the way out we met another group who had walked for almost an hour to get there and looked suitable fed up, so we were pretty relieved to be heading to the warm having done an hour and a half on site....and hopefully getting what we needed.
We got back to Uni for 3:30pm and were then put into the first small groups and given the first brief.
