+ 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.

- 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.

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.

Wk4. reading reflection
"Politics & Situationist International"
+ The building is a representation of the context of the location and people that inhabitat it so the architecture is a reflection of values of human and the spatial enclosure.
+ 'paper architecture' consists in works which is put forward as works of architecture but this never intended to be built and indeed most cases they could not be built.
+ Architecure can accomodate works where the thought contained in the work is of architectural nature.
wk4. Lec note (People & Life style)
+ Are architects providing the right type of spaces for the user? If the space has been designed well how does the one simplify the space so easy? If the space was designed to suit such specific needs how can they be so easilly dismissed?
+ The aim of Project1 is to identify and demonstrate architectural possibilities..
- consider the needs of user
- how can machines contribute?
- architecture as infrastructure?
- how do you present ideas?

"Sharing Layers "
Brand, S., 1997. Shearing Layers, in How buildings learn : what happens after they’re built, London: Phoenix Illustrated. pp12-23
+ It was interesting idea that what will become of our buildings once they were used for the purpose that we intended them for.
+ A building conceived as several layers of longevity of built components
a. Site : geographical setting, the urban location (site is eternal)
b. Structure : foundation and load-bearing elements (change is perilous and expensive so rarely attempted)
c. Skin : exterior surfaces and external cladding (change often due to improved materials, technology)
d. Services : the working parts of the building ( when change is needed outdated, systems need accessible)
e. Space paln : the interior layout of walls, ceilings, floors, apertures (can be changed with relative ease)
f. Stuff ; furniture and decoration ( easily and often changed)
+ Longevity of building is often determined by how they absorb new services technology.
