we were given the area of the Barras to observe bad behaviours within the community , the bad behaviours we observed was the disregarded waste of items that could be reused. This however is ultimately a good thing as there is less reusable items being thrown out and more encouragement to pass on items to others in the community and surrounding area.

Therefore our route of exploration was to enhance and encourage others in outer Glasgow to embrace to the lifestyle Barras residents have.

After conducting both primary and secondary research, the Barras is clearly a place of community and sustainability. The area is littered with items on the streets like, electrical appliances, clothing and household items, this may be seen as rubbish to most but these items are the embodiment of the saying “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. This is concept that typically people from central Glasgow would look down on as it could be preserved as unhygienic, however most residents of the Barras have no choice than to buy second hand, this is not solely due to the fact that it has a positive impact on the environment but more because of the affordability when buying second hand. One local resident owns an art studio/shop next to the famous markets, this shop allows members of the community to come in, paint then sell the paintings for their own profits, the owner resorts to having to sell upcycled old furniture to pay for the running of the studio/shop, most of these he finds on the streets or are about to be thrown out

The Barras is overflowing with items that would be of good use to some ether in or around the community.

The Barras is overflowing with items that could have good use to others, however many of these items get damaged due to insufficient storage, this is one of the functions for a shelter like product that would provide shelter from weather conditions aswell as an open outdoor area for members of the community to donate or take items that others no longer have a use for.

For this idea we thought of a wall, a bit like the chewing gum wall in Seattle but more aimed towards the litter side, more specifically bottles and cans. this ideally would be placed in an area where people will be drinking alcohol.

this design makes the recycling of bottles more of a game and a nice thing to look at

the holder for the bottle is made out of old broken wires which is  more sustainable.

The recycling of electronics is very difficult in Glasgow , most people live far away from the few recycling plants and others have to pay for their appliances to be picked up to be recycled properly. These ideas explore ways in which appliances can be safely stored and taken by those in the community who need them

our next ideas are to combine the recycling of electronics and creating the wall to encourage interaction and promote recycling and repurposing old objects.

this is a repurposed old telephone book which is being used as a "take what you want and give what you want" library for the local community. this is inspiration for my concepts now

this is a potential area on Sauchiehall street where my product could be used. The area has a large number of people passing through as well as a large number of homeless people on it, this would benefit them

these are possible areas where the product could be
