Tutorial Activity:
Theme group first meeting!
MOBILE 2 THEME
Formation of groups (3 people max):
- Josh Dallas
- Kieren Robinson
:: CAPITAL STRATEGY BRAINSTORM ::
Here we met with out tutor Jane Foster. Jane runs a successful design company on the sunshine coast thus very much looking forward to working with her.
As a group we began to discuss what we were looking to achieve for the project 1. We went through the CRA and project brief extensively, highlighting important parts for further investigation.
The tutorial was well utilized with a few main points of focus emerging throughout the session. The vision was beginning to form:
:: Not one strategy, but all ::
This looks at exploring the possibility of incorporating all of the themes [distributed, virtual & flexible] into one incredible entity.
:: Emphasis on the local ::
We seek to give the local people more of a front when it comes to parliament decisions. Macro to micro we aim to please the individual as well as the community.
:: Distributed Services ::
Australia is such a vast country that it takes an incredible amount of resources to connect all the people. The east, south, west, north and central Australia will have equal access to all services thanks to our mobile parliament design:
- Internet
- Telecommunications
- Fresh water
- Electricity
:: Current Disconnection ::
As a group we came to the conclusion that their is a current disconnection within the current government structure and its peoples [see political post]
:: Refocus identity ::
:: Nomadic parliament ::
Having the ability to go mobile gives endless possibilities for a parliament type structure. This entity will be completely self sufficient thus not relying on external help for navigation or repair. Much similar to that of the nomadic abattoirs which i covered earlier in my blog.
:: Ownership of the community ::
:: Identity, via ingrained culture ::
:: Disaster response ::
Natural disasters occur at any given time.
People rely on the stability of the government to help in times of need.
Though often is the case that help is not always given to those people / business's directly affected.
We brainstormed that our architectural entity will in some way be able to respond in rapid time to the affected area. Not only will it supply food and water but necessities like power and communication infrastructure.
:: Thoughts on vision/tutorial ::
I am happy with the direction in which our group is heading. We are working well together considering we have only been a group for such a limited amount of time. I'm eager to start producing some quality work.
