This idea will develop k/u of design issues - analysis, research, select and justify design issues according to market requirements. Learners will analyse a brief, and through researching the product and market, select and justify several design issues based on the client’s ethos to write a detailed design specification for a new ‘Clyde community’ recycling unit which will compliment the new architecture and encourage use.
