ECO PODS
Designed by Heweler and Yoon & Square design Lab for Boston.
This structure acts as a temp "algae bio-reactor"
Ultimately the concept behind this design is to maximise renewable energy source to activate the robotic arms which place the pods practically anywhere it wants. The pods become almost a parasite as they can be grouped together, singularly or on an existing building.
What i like about this design is its ability to adapt to any situation.. I hope to achieve this type of robust style in my design as i will be utilising the disaster response unit all over Australia. The presence that this design creates is amazing. I am playing around with ideas at the moment that will help show 'Parliaments' presence..

TAFONI FLOATING HOME
Designed by Joanna Borek-Clement
http://architecturelab.net/2010/01/tafoni-floating-home-project-by-joanna-borek-clement/
Primary goal of this conceptual project is to change the attitudes towards living on a houseboat and promote a lifestyle that limits disruption of the environment.
What i like about this Design; The small footprint that this pod leaves is essential for consideration of parliament. The style of approach is modular in construction however looks quite unique.

AEDAS: THE CONTAINED CALLS
Designed by Aedas in the UK
Participants were asked to develop an 'iconic' commercial building. The form created is quite bold and and iconic. The concept is derived from the former warehouse storage units that once inhabited the site.
What i like about this Design; its ability to flawlessly integrate into the context. The modular pods create negative space which is where a lot of the action is happens. By using the shipping containers as the structural frame and then highlighting the negative spaces which emerge from this i will be heading in the right direction for my design proposal.

FELIPE CAMPOLINA: Portable housing
Designed by Felipe Campolina
http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/9491/felipe-campolina-portable-housing.html
This Brazilian Architect has developed a 'portable housing' design. A sky scraper design that is comprised of hundreds of mobile units.
What i like about this design; The architect has realised that currently, the need to inhabit the planet sustainably is an increasing concern for the future. Thus this design deals with both, environmental and social issues.
The living systems are telescopic in size, starting as a 20ft shipping container that has been pre fabricated. Once in position the container 'pulls' apart to create a contain 40 ft in length.

The following is a list of designs that i believe are worth mentioning as they helped shape the vision of my design:
Yonoh: 'Box' - a modular Bathroom System
The Double Room - Portable Home
Lava: Digital origami emergency shelter
Ik studio: Conics Canopy
Seed: Adam Berry
Memsys: Jessica Dailey - Solar powered shipping container
