Assignment: CLTs in the UK

Each student shall present her/his assigned CLT building to the class during the term. This oral presentation shall be accompanied by an optimized Adobe pdf slide show (export from PowerPoint) limited to 12 slides, including one slide that shows how to get to the project from our dorm in  London with a map (Google or <https://www.openstreetmap.org> are good sources) and notes. Report how long it would take and how much it would cost to get there. For London sites Transport for London's web <www.tfl.gov.uk> can be helpful in sorting modes of transit—including walking—and fares. For sites outside London <http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/> will get you fares and routes, but you must also navigate from dorm to railway station and from railway station to site. 

Please upload your presentations to the course Google Drive folder prior to the due date. They will be available to course members while in London as well as before and after.

Most of the assigned buildings are presented as a two-page case study in CLT 100 UK Projects.  Your task is to expand, interpret, and analyze information from the text and corroborating sources as well as provide color images of and graphics about the project that explain the use of CLTs and why it's significant

Limit your presentation to 8 minutes!

Cite sources for all images and for all information included in your presentation. Do NOT simply read the text to your colleagues.
