This project will develop students' k/u of 3D design processes by
using Clyde architecture as a starting point to create an original
building to win the chance to participate in a presentation to a
Clyde developer; local architect; local authority personnel and an
exhibition at parents' evening. Each building will come
together to create 4 new skylines (of 5 buildings each) at the end
of the project (learners will be split into teams for this).
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the design process,
working to the constraints of the design brief (responsibility to
meeting needs of others), construction skills
• Develop enterprise and employability skills: application of
knowledge in a real situation by being able to follow a brief, by
being in competition with others and by presenting final outcome to
whole class (selling your product also relates to selling oneself
in an interview situation)
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art & Design studies, students will work with
the visual elements: line, shape, form and colour
• Relevance of how architecture is relevant to work and life
(discuss types of buildings) and how this subject knowledge is put
into practice in a real situation e.g. architects competing for
bids
