During the 2-week project, we will develop your skills with additional digital, physical, and social skills whilst working through the various stages of design in producing the final output of a proposal for the client.

We aim to enhance your design skill and presentation through various design iterations whilst working with children during the conceptual stages, resulting in the representation of high-resolution renders through a child’s perspective.

In the first week, we plan to interact with the children of Manchester and Shenzhen to understand the children's outlooks. Conducting an online workshop for the children where they can display their imagination and creative views of what the city means to them. Which will be incorporated during the design development stages in week 2.
