'Pure Water plantation' By Connor, Sophie, Billy Callum, P7, Gowanbank Primary

Vote here : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M7C2HRL

This is a giant greenhouse sculpture made entirely out of recycled plastic bottles collected from households in Glasgow. It floats on and moves in the water and is designed for bigger rivers and the River Clyde. Plants can grow inside the greenhouse - these plants grow using an aquaponic system and the river water. Some plants could be specifically grown to purify the water. Other plants could be grown for food.

This is a bridge that goes over the River Clyde - for people to walk and cycle. It has a net to catch litter in the water.

Above the water - a bright Sculpture, kind of like a stained glass window effect - made of several art panels that are transparent pastel colours (purple, green, blue and orange) which allow light to pe*****te.
Below the water - a sophisticated net system to capture litter flowing downstream - the nets can be removed, emptied and then replaced.

Sky View
(By Amy, Eva and Eilidh, Gowanbank Primary P7)

Proposal for Create4Glasgow competition by Glasgow Life and Bloomberg!
Vote here : https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/M7C2HRL

Sky View is a large floating sculpture made with shapes that look like cups and straws. The six cups on the top collect rainwater and purify it to make drinking water. The cups spin with the movement of the current in the water and the wind - making energy. There is a bridge through the middle of the sculpture that people can walk across. There is a net underwater that collects litter.
