Bristol and Bath by Design
The aim of the project was to collect data on design companies in the Bristol and Bath region, and to gain a better understanding of the economic and cultural value of the design-led sector. To do this, the primary research was to develop a range of qualitative and quantitative methods that could gather and then analyse the data, in order to understand the economic and cultural value of design in the Bristol and Bath region.
