Tour to Ash & Lacy Building System
Students took tours to Ash & Lacy factory at West Bromwish for better understanding of the manufacturing process. The tour was lead by Mr. Tharinda Rathnapala from Ash & Lacy and guided through the factories and warehouses. He introduced the process and machineries that

Facade Panels in Context
At the end of the final presentation it was discussed that it would be useful to see the panels in their proposed context. Below are images showing two different sizes of panel, the smaller being similar to the one created
