Team 3

Team 3 at the office, our new home

  -->
Here we are ! Team 3 is in Porto city !!
We all arrived last weekend, to start this amazing adventure on Monday 24th !

The first one was Marco, the italian,  then Céline the french, Luis the mexican, Tatiana the portugese and David from Scotland.  The warm welcome from Jose, Pilar, Vitor and her friends who then brought us to the studio, the building for a first impression, and after to have some wine tasting.

Our mission : start the work on site. But before that, getting to know the project and thanks to Marta and Pedro from the previous team we were well mentored.
On Monday evening we met the architects, and had an overview of this part of team.

The second day we had the traditional  sidewalk in Porto organised by Pilar and Diana, which is always a good way to know a bit of the city, and even more of its weather since it was raining cats and dogs !!  After this i twas nice to meet the engineers in our dry and warm studio.

Our partner PIGMA had also prepared some brain food for us to know better the conservation work of old equipment.

And we are now well caught up with the (complex) BIM system since we had an interesting workshop.

Now it’s time to finish up the last drawings and to continue to improve the project which is already great thanks of the work for the previous teams ! We are all looking forward to going and working inside the building !
