+ Car free city
the use of existing parking have no functional uses anymore. It leds apotential in the buildings to allow for sustainable infrastructure to be installed. This can be rainwaer harvisting or aquaculture place, water filteration plant farm , etc.. This means that we possibly can use existing spaces to retrofit these sustainable advances that would take valuable and needed space in the habitated space.
+ The number of shops, supermarkets and stores would need to increase with the population. Since this is the case, the production of food in city is only a supplement to the supply. As such the supply of retail products still need to be brought to city.

+ concept deveopment
- Traffic Congestion
When trying to reduce traffic congestion in Brisbane City it would be to analyze what causes the amounts of cars to drive to and from the CBD. Brisbane has a low density than european cities and it seems to have a higher transport energy consumption. In South East OLD driving culture, people living on Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast commute to Brisbane CBD for work/education. Thus it's not fair to pointing the driver financially for their dependence on their cars.
- Place
In the global economy crisis, people work harder for less which would make Brisbane CBD very expensive to live in,causing people move to the city fringe.. what if people work at home or wherever they want, because people don't always get productive work in office. The idea of working at home may not work for all industries but would be eliminate a potion in city.
- Time
Working schedule from 9am-5pm might not work the most optimally for all. Thus the idea of working at home is being connected to their work environment virtually.
- Future Scenario
If the business leave the CBD and less people go to CBD for work, this will give an impact to business within. If business doesn't pull people to CBD anymore.. somehing else would replace it. an option can be balancing the CBD out to its surround areas creating mix uses to business, residential, space and farm.

Wk3. Lec note
+ principle
Fixed - shelter, safety, communication, connection, sharing, comfort..
=> universal quality- no 'selfish architecture' = I want, I like etc.
+ context
ever changing - community, site etc
+ sustainability
environment - economy - society
+ they all need to work within pattern of basic needs, time frames and space scales.

wk2 reading reflection.
The reading discribed the idea of eco-neighbourhoods as new option for developments in future to arrange the built environment to be more sustainable. And it presents the benefits of urban concentration considering the compexity of our economical, political and social environment.
Dimension1. The degree of dispersal or concentration
- a. dispersal into hamets and villages
- b. concentration into dominent cities
between these extremes are " dispersed concentration"
Dimension2. The degree of segregation or intermixture of urban activities
- When industry and commerse is situated in center of the urban city as a whole, it's suggested that the mixed use is suitable however it's not definited to how much should occur within neighborhoods.
Dimension3. The question of LOW vs HIGH density
- what's the appropriate density of neighborhoods in regards to "net density" and "gross density"
Dimension4. The 3 basic types of shape; stellar, grid, linear
- The shape refers to whole city and the neighborhoods are building blocks that create wide pattern.
wk2.Lec/Tute reflection
+ Thoughts on what the future will hold for us as aspiring architects/designers and more broadly for society as whole.
+ The importance of architects/designers to visualize rather than just respond to what we see today.
+ The urban discussion on the issues dealing with the scenario was a look at what would happen if the use of cars where banned within the city centre.

- forming groups to commence working on project1.
- design charette : " Urban area"
The topic requires to think about what if Brisbane City introduce the London style congestion charge to reduce traffic in city.

wk1. reading reflection.
Sadler, S., 2005. Beyond Architecture. In. Archigram: Architecture Without Architecture, Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press. pp90-138.
The reading explained the ideas of architectural designs in the different era and how it's merged with society and different aspects of our life. I think that as designer/architect need to presume the role of design from whole perspective which means we need to take science, technology, politics.. and go with them together. We are planning and designing for our needs, thus we should modulate our role to adapt to environment. Not just designing the buildings, we need to design and consider a way of life in future.
