The second day of the workshop started with a presentation of the analysis work by students from the ENSA Clermont-Ferrand and from the Universidad da Coruña. They work on this topic in the context of their master thesis, therefore they start earlier than the other institutions and arrive already well prepared. The presentation was impressive, the analysis very profound, so French and Spanish students supplied all workshop-group with their knowledge, enabling all students to start directly with their design work, teachers wandering around to visit the groups. The studios at the OTH were prepared with every necessary tool for sketching, building models, printing etc., we have also opened our vast workshops for our international guests.
