This project will develop students' knowledge and understanding of
design/planning by considering how transport could be improved
along the Clyde. Learners will apply this knowledge in a real life
context by considering the implications of their wacky transport
ideas on the local environment. Final design will take the form of
a photomontage of the Clyde waterfront incorporating various
transport ideas to be presented to a Glasgow transport provider or
a transport design company.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the design process,
working to the constraints of the design brief
• 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 solution
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 5-14 Art & Design studies, students will work with
the visual elements: line, shape, and composition
• Relevance of how transport/planning is relevant to work and life
(discuss types of transport) and how this subject knowledge is put
into practice in a real situation e.g. planners competing for
bids
