03 : Lecture

This weeks lecture clarified a few key components of this project such as:
  • The project may make the current parliament house redundant, but the intention is not to redesign and rebuild.
  • Architectural solution to replace / enhance one or more of the specific functions the parliament house currently provides.
  • Strategy that is presented in Week 6, is to become the brief which supports the proposed architectural entity at the end of semester.
As this weeks tutorial focused on Infrastructure / Strategy / Presence, the main question raised was what makes your project viable?

1. Support Structure.  This can be displayed through the visual representation of how people interact with the design.  Inspiration can also be found in the display of buildings under construction.

2. Transport.  Whether it be shipping / train / road network - will changes be made to existing network?

3. Digital Network.  How can the digital world interact with physical space.  Can architects provide more than just 'wi-fi' zones?

4. Presence. How can you provide identity to fragmented pieces? (example, red telephone box in London).

Each of these four areas were explored in someway in each of the Virtual / Mobile / Flexible / Distributed themes.
