The 12 exhibition was a celebration of the end of this first highly successful year of the arc talks programme and also a celebration of all the wonderful architecture to be seen in the region featuring sites such as Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Magna and Fountains Abbey Visitor Centre. It highlighted the processes involved in creating great design and included visuals from the earliest sketches to final models, plans and drawings of the buildings in the region featured in the series.
