Today we welcome lecturers Neil Minuk(right) and Roger Mullin(left) to the group. They are both here for a couple days to give presentations, take in the findings and provide feedback.

But before the presentations and input gets underway everyone heads out on an excursion to Seldom to the Marine Information Centre and then onto Fogo. Neil and Roger get a quick tour of the Brett House and then it's back to the church.









At the church Neil and Roger give their presentations. Members of the community are present along with the participants and everyone crowds in together to take in the work of these two new architects.

Once the presentations are over everyone breaks for coffee and snacks. More local people arrive and everyone quickly gathers back into their seats for the first input and findings we have seen from the participants. Starting with Keynote presentations of some of the digital imaging the designers have mapped for the Inn room designs and layout.

Everyone is then escorted throughout the church to view and receive explanations on different pieces created by the participants. Influenced by local items and local aesthetics the prototypes are a great launching point for the work to come and everything seems to be well received by the community.
