Week 5

Week 5 one week before our assignment is due. Ideas are still flowing and things are constantly changing more addition and subtraction. 

During the tutorial Hannah had the idea opposite to myself that instead of moving the people around to the buildings. the buildings might move to meet them or at least move around depending on demand. floating the idea with Brant we revived some positive feedback.

We also earlier in the week came across an idea around a straddling bus that straddled the road ways not interrupting traffic that kind of inspired the idea of  the moving buildings.  Would certainly create an interesting presence for Canberra to have moving buildings/ stations.

Other ideas surrounding the use and presence  of the architectural entities were that the circle around the Parliament and the rest of the precincts in the area would become a Think Tank. This Think Tank would help with government policies and research and education and act like a moderator. the think tank would aslo include Expo spaces for each of the states, to unify and bring them together more.

 and the transport network would allow for all these spaces to be visited in much less time as there isn't time wasted having to get into a car to travel to these other spots. instead of only seeing one or 2 sights in a day we could possibly get in 3 or 4 if we take out the travel in cars and swap to a much more efficient  mode of transport that puts less stress on the people using it.

The idea is to turn Canberra into a leading edge city in terms of technology and  ideas thinking along with condensing the city down with a tram system that aims to take cars out of the equation.

We also choose to narrow down the building area around parliament to the blue sections as directly behind parliament there is a more residential area there.  to the left hand side of parliament there is quite a few embassies etc in that area so one of the purposes we are considering is a political science and international relations uni.

The red areas are ear marked for possible areas that can be utilized by the flexible building system we are considering. the idea would be to change it up every 2 years or so, have the precincts constantly changing and generating interest.
