Design for Innovative communities

Project 2 - Year 3

For this project we were given a brief which was also given to 7 other design schools who are part of the educational group GIDE. The idea is to the brief and change it to fit in with something in your area. In our case Whinny Brae was a local street in Broughty Ferry, Dundee and we were given the brief to redesign the Brae.

As you can see from the image below, the hill is a major part of the problem as it is currently very difficult to get from A to B because of the incline. We began to research and develop ideas of what we would do and some of the work is below.
