>Yasu has planned the unit around 3 main sections:
- Infrastructure
- Strategy
- Presence
A selection of unique examples was shown throughout the lecture focusing on aspects, which would enhance our future assignment.
These included;
- Next 21: Osaka, Japan
- Shigeru Ban : Nomadic museum, New York
- Red Telephone Box : Sir Giles Gilbert Scot
- Next 21: Osaka, Japan
- Shigeru Ban : Nomadic museum, New York
- Red Telephone Box : Sir Giles Gilbert Scot
:: Thoughts ::
I quite like the ‘red telephone box’ example Yasu used, as the design itself is so widely known and acknowledged yet the design so basic.
Below are a few notes taken from the lecture for later perusal:
What aspect of parliament am I to re-design?
Does my new proposal need to replace all functions of the current parliament building??
-No: need to come up with an architectural solution to replace or enhance one or more specific function the p. house currently provides.
- Discuss with team leader
Do I need a solution for week 6?
- Own specific strategy to deal with the rest of semester.
- Design brief for building.
- Very much schematic.
Support structure:
- Things that move have to be supported by something…
- How do these distributed functions get support for it to exist
- Virtual – organizational structure
How users of architecture entity interact with design?
-Certain design decisions by thinking about certain scenarios
Transportation:
- Cannot say my building moves around without showing ‘how’ it moves around.
- How can all my entities arrive at specific spot
- National Train line
o Road network
o Airplane network
o Shipping
- Shigeru Ban: Nomadic Museum, New York
Digital Network:
- Rely on digital network
- Available and useful
- Satellite network vs lan-line network
- Provide access to people in various locations
e.g Keith Urbahn – Osama death
- Map digital to physical locations
Wi-Fi: creating ‘wifi’ areas [better solution needed]
Presence:
- No one can identify what parliament is ‘actually’ doing.
- Extremely important ‘what Australia as a nation is aiming for’. Design for this
How to give identity to architectural spaces?
- Color and specific design repetition…
Code more defined by color
- e.g Bernard Tschumi: Parc de la Villette
Tutorial Activity:
Formation of Groups (4 people max)
Katherine Aland
Hannah You
Steve
What issue should parliament be focusing on?
- Disaster mitigation
- Ageing issues
- Water scarcity
- Resource depletion
Good way to go about it…
What, Who, When, Where, Why, How
Think about specific story. Give a context, users, situations and strategies.
What solutions are available?
The following 4 posts will show the results of each theme brainstorm…
