Harchester

Below are a series of design activities, which can be used for home learning. They can be spread over three weeks or done in one. They assess design capability and require students to follow the design process in an Urban Design/Architecture context. They are based around the town Harchester, so additional background can be obtained in the Harchester section on the website. The data collected from the assessment can give you an insight into student design capabilities within the Design Process.
