ID CONTEXT – Protagonist’s Journey around Opticians Within Sheffield

I planned and walked the route my protagonist would be taking once he arrives in Sheffield, visiting 5 opticians. However I have decided not to include this within my design portfolio as it doesn’t influence my design.

ID CONTEXT – Sustainable Construction Materials

In my design I propose using bamboo as the structural material for my interior walls, this is because of it’s sustainability and flexibility to work with.
