Wk 3 Reflection

In the tutorial discussion, our group agreed that Parliament House becomes a REPRESENTATION nowadays.
 - It overloads with opinion.
 - Majority wins
 - How do you moderate the system?
Q: Is it relevent to today's sociaty?

Parliament House needs to be CHANGED at some point in time. Here are some considerations:
 - A dramatic change?
 - Planning: A consistent change?
 - What happen if the systems go down if we rely too much on one system?!

We cannot go back to the History, but we can learn from it. It is the fact that once we know the information, we won't go back to the past. But how can we take it forword?


FLEXIBLE
 - How it can be provided?
 - How to prepare this flexibility? Does it happen everyday / week / year / once occation?
 - What needs to be supported?

Below is the diagram to sum up our discussion on Flexible. A few of the senario has listed out, they are Natural Disaster, Community, Globolism and Ground Zero, we then further discussed on the issue of Globalism. We believe the citizens are losing trust of authority and losing faith to the government who lead the country. Should we design people to run their own system in the future? We also believe currency will not work in the future, therefore we came up with the idea of objects can be exchanged to another objects, and whoever come up with good ideas / solutions can get the money, becuase ideas are worth something!



Questions we came across:
 - What if the economic collapse?
 - How will the system be flexible to maintain?
 - File to be kept?
 - Water? Food? Shelter? It is an issue nowadays to take 30 yrs to pay for our "shelter"! Whereas it only took 3 yrs / 8 yrs to pay for our "shelter" 20 yrs ago! Should they kick you out if we cannot afford? And who will kick you out? The bank will be corrupted in the future.
 - What if the government have a Plan B? What is the Plan B?
 - If the city is bankrupt, what do people do everyday?
 - Why do we allow people to think how much a country is worth?
 - In South Africa, why do we pay money to tell people how much you worth? We need someone to regulate it.
 - Democracy is the ability to motivate people to change!
 - Can architecture provide an answer? PLATFORM can be distributed to the community. What connection could it be? What scale is it? Accessibility? Who would access it? How would they access it? How often do they access it? Is it something static / permanent? What can be made solid?
 - How does it fit within the large network?

 - In the reading, it states that Architecture is the fecilitator. Is there an alternative way for business to conduct services?
 - Accusation - Urbanisation. Population. Should we put a cap --> Consultative.
 - Cohesive. How should the social environment be? (See diagrams below). In Korea, the whole infrastructure will support the whole country.


 - How can we link this to the current Parliament?
 - It would be a problem to implement the systems now to accomodate the flexible future.

SUSTAINABILITY
 - is a long journey
 - shifts our lifes
 - accrue locally and up

What makes Australia? What are they?
 - Good quality of life
 - Motivation made people exist
 - Seminor, government, visitors, art, exhibition, flag
 - Kangaroo?
 - Should we maintain the existing infrustructure or improve it?
 - Is the current parliament still relevant?
 - The following diagrams indicate what makes the existing parliament.

Q: Does the existing parliament house represent Australia?
A: YES!
 - flag
 - high publiccize
 - Big festival and events
 - Form. And the form represent the city (See diagram below)

  - Ppl are not allowed to go to the grass area due to security reason, but the original design was to allow people to hang around there.
 - Identity

If the answer is "No". Does it need to be Internationally recognise?
Q: What layer can we add on to make it globally recognisable? VIRTUAL?
