The feedback we received from Jane about last week's presentation was fairly positive. Obviously, the lack of consistency in paper sizes in the presentation was unfortunate, but in terms of the content she said that she liked the idea of defining the mobile theme as the 'mobility of people', in contrast to almost every other group presentation which was about getting people out of Canberra. Jane did mention though that we need 'something' else (which is also mobile-related) to really push the idea into a built form.
With this, I looked into the various definitions of mobile.
Just before the end of class, Julian (who is the other mobile tutor) called me over and himself and Jane discussed possible ideas for the rest of the project. He made a very good point by saying that our 'architectural entity' does not have to last forever - the reality is that it probably won't. He said that if it was him doing the project, he would focus on the construction of the railway line. How is it constructed, and is there a way for it to be constructed in certain places around Canberra temporarily / maybe it would become a cocoon or capsule like form that would engulf the train to become a station as well?
Here is a quick sketch I did right after we spoke:
This week I think I will research a little more into the construction of railway lines and see if anything sparks my interest. This technical approach to the project is usually not my strong area, but last design proposal, maybe I'm up for the challenge??
