David Edwards
David is motivated by individual ambition rather than the need to impress his peers. He is very strong willed and has a keen interest in architecture, but is not convinced that university is really for him. He had a provisional university offer (an architectural degree), but was willing to turn this down for a place on the project. David has been working for a computer solutions company and a primary school completing his studies.
