Final Year Design Project [2018/2019]
An Introduction:
My third year project is centred around tackling national obesity. After our studio trip to the Netherlands, I was inspired by the country’s expansive cycle network. The building ‘Live Wild’ is part of a national scheme to connect the entirety of Britain’s coast with a cycle route.
The Problem:
2 in 3 adults are overweight or obese in the UK.
The Solution:
Live Wild.
Live Wild is the beginning of a national scheme to connect the UK’s coast with cycle hubs.
