Wk7. Lec
Architecture fiction in the year 2020.
The entity is to be set around 2020-2030 in future. 15yrs isn't that significant time but it would be a crucial period for designers. This time frame allows for predictions about the course of human advancement. The greatest factor which charges architecture in terms of futurristic environment is technology. Dubai is good example of the buildings constantly rotating around a central core. However the budget is another big factor which is considered when it's designed.
Yasu mentioned that this assignment is fictional but there will need to be a level of realism. It's quite difficult to distinguish what is real and is not in future. Reality could be anything and reality in future should transcent from present world of reality.

WK6.Individual Project One Statement
In presentation day I had to leave before our group presentation time so the presentation component of this project1 was shown by Duane and Dan. So two group members had to devide the presentation into two components to explain to tutors.
Our presentation boards showed all points of our scenario and why we research and analysis them further to provide architectural possibilities. The boards shows 5 architectural possible outcomes that could be developed to change our lifestyle and retrofit the functions of the Brisbane city.
From beggining of this project I tried to approach where we are and what situation whinin now. We have experienced the Global economic crisis and have been experiencing climte change, ruuning out of the resources ..but we have not established solutions that we face to this trauma. So now country should take action because we are not aware of consequences in our life and yet sustainable lifestyle is not ready and affordable to have the resources to make the option. But we can eliminate this trauma by realising its consequences and preparing now.
After researching and analysing car free city for this project theme, It is certain that removing car on streets from an urban fringe could provide numorous advantages and great impact to its residnets and improve the CBD space more efficiencely also maximising green spaces.
What I proposed potential architectural possibilities for sustainable urban future were monorail transport system and rooftop farm/garden. Actually these options have been carried out in some of cities in world and
these are not just possibilitity anymore. This change has to be more spreading and develope for urban community. With the interesting future scenario that we investigated I feel that the scenarios are opened to many possibilities that can be taken for next project.

wk5-6 Research for architectural possibilities
+ roof top garden / farm
- retfofit of the abandoned space in building
- functioned to resist getting too hot ( reducing the heat of building)
- reduce energy costs in building
- getting freshly grown produce in city
+ Renewable energy powered urban transit system ( monorail )
- eco factor : carbon-neutral with solar and wind generators
- enable local shipping from business to business
+ traffic roads turned into open space
- safe high-quality pedestrian connectivity with legible way finding within CBD, indluding high visibility and sufficient lighting in streets and public meeting places, and integrated crime prevnetion through environment design
- maximize in green area in CBD
+ Internal / external connections
- how the current buildings can be retoroffited to suit new external connections
- how external spatial zones can be added to create points of interest and gathering
- the establishment of social and healthy functionality for the populace
+ Carpark retrofit
- finding functional use for existing carpark structure in existing buildings
- providing potential entertainment spaces or bulding self sufficiency services

WK5. further research
+ sustainable urbanism.
It makes every effort to minimize the use of energy, water and materials at each stage of the city life style including the embodied energy in the extraction and transport of materials, their fabrication, their assembly into the buildings and ultimately the ease and value of their recycling when an individual building's life is over.
A. energy and materials :
- Embodied energy - renewable energy solutions
- energy sources & solutions - energy efficiency
B. water and biodiversity :
- water recycling & irrigation - urban farming
- grey water recycling - storage of urban stormwater
C. urban planning and transport :
- Social sustainability - heath and walkability - infrastructure
- energy efficient buildings - reducing car dependecy
+ Sustainable built environment in Brisbane future
Living in Brisbane 2026 is council's shared vision for brisbane, how sustainable brisbane's built environment is designed and constructed will have a key role in achieving this vision. In its corporate sustainability policy, council addopted a set of principles to guide its decision-making. One of the focus areas identified in coucil's corporate sustainability policy is sustainable places and urban forms.
The sustainable built environment policy expands on this focus and demonstrate council's commitment to using a structured approach to driving sustainable developemnt.
+ Off the grid high rise building system (Architectural possibilities)
-solar power and wind power
-rainwater collection system + grey water recycle
-rooftop farm

wk5. Tute and research
+ Tute
Our group provided each member's proposed ideas that we where looking at investigating. As we suggested that having 2 options allowed us to provide the theme that we aree interested in but still needed to adjust more. And we planned and devided works for 4 panels and arrnaged additional group meeting next Wednesday to check up how we go and finalise.
+ Research my part
- According to building law, buildings are designed to be self sufficient and are mostly mixed use to allow for people to live and work in the same building.
- New transport technologies have emerged. (ex)monorail system taking people in city blocks, with blimp buses and subways linking between districts)
- Due to strain on trasport services, business commonly provide accomodation in close proximity to attract employees and stay competitive.

wk5. Lec note
+ The lec described on architectural solutions which showed a variety of architecture projects in Amsterdam and NYC. It was interesting that one of projects about the railway line that converted into the public park. The place that railway track was placed was actually low developed area however due to the develop of the public park, it increased the district's quality over time. This shows that the influences of small archi elements which provided numorous opportunities for the area.
+ So 2 cities are exploring change in climates, economic patterns and energy transition for their future. These cities will become a center of architecture in 2040 with the control of rising water level, preservation of natural habitat, transport system and infrastructure.

wk4. reseach and tute exercises (3)
+ people that generally would be here have the following escribtion here would be have describtions below:
- professional couple 20-35 yrs old
- no kids
- want to be within walking distance of all elements they have in their lives
- social and entertainment values
- family values fromweekly visits from family members every weekend
=> This led our group to start to visualize the populace in future and we can go further develope the concepts and future scenario for our project.

wk4. reseach and tute exercises (2)
- Due to Lack of space in CBD, the urban farm could be unviable but more produces mean better local supplemetns and leess demand on beneficial impact.
- It is an effective form of anti-city planning, a proven permanent land use that meets city needs.
- This system reduces transportation costs that are becoming prohibitively expensive.
- Purchasing food locally grown decreases energy use associated with shipping and refrigeration.

wk4. reseach and tute exercises (1)
There were transport devices such as solar powered monorail system, automated pod car, electronic bike and some ther potential devices. The needs for transport infrastructure is gonna be critical as it will be required to move populace and products in and out out CBD.
