UK - Day 25...Charretting in London

The design day. I hurry through breakfast and then join Keith for the tube ride and walk to Anne Thorne's office. We know how to find it this time! Jesse and Paul had teamed up for the travel and beat us there by a few minutes. Anne brings tea and coffee, we provide the biscuits and we settle in for a long day of design and compromise.
First things first - a concept. We need a strong idea to base our entire design on, and since we only have 24 hours to create this design, we need to be able to explain it convincingly. But, the conversation keeps jumping to form and specific details of construction and operation without that foundation needed in a conceptual design.
Finally, after poring through books, perusing websites, bouncing ideas off of our mentor architect and being prodded by Jenny (the only employee working today), we come to a decision to focus on water to communicate sustainability in a creative way in our Serpentine Pavilion design.
After a lunch break at the local vegetarian cafe, we buckle down to create some images to support our growing concept. The favorite idea going around is a giant water droplet at the focal point of the pavilion that acts as a cistern to collect rainwater from the roof above.
We discuss scale and proportion...
Then, we decide we've done enough discussing and deciding and need to divide and conquer this task before our time runs out!
Paul jumps on designing the structure, Jesse focuses on strengthening our concept with graphics and diagrams, Keith runs the internet to research any and every question we throw his way, and I work out site plan schematics with the ever-changing roof shapes coming from Paul.
By 7:30pm, we have a pretty good idea of what is left to do, and it looks like we'll be up late tonight! Anne Thorne is closing up the office, so we pack up and go find dinner to take with us back to Passfield. During dinner, we decide to do only hand sketches for the 3D drawings since the computer modeling is so time-consuming. Paul is the most talented freehand artist in our group, so he works on the linework for the perspective drawings, I start putting my rough site plan sketches into AutoCAD, Jesse works on perfecting his concept idea graphics, and Keith goes to bed. He is an early riser, not a night owl and has reached his limit. The rest of us stay up until midnight before retiring with a plan to meet again around 6am to finish this.
