WEEK 04 - People and Lifestyle

 

This week began with a few diagrams to map out future possibilities for the people of Woodfordia. below is a diagram that depicts the possibility of a sharing model where the current example shows and individual house with a car and a shed with its own tools that sit there for week or months without anyone using them. These resources could be used more regularly if the system allowed for others to borrow them. The solution to this is the future scenario where multiple household share their resources such as one car or shed for a set number of households.

 

Images showing natural light and ventilation for the structure with cropping areas on the roof, top image depicts the priority given to more sustainable modes of transport such as bikes and walking, while the car only received a single lane. 

 

 

 

 Time line, which is the commencement of stepping out our time scale for this project. Moving through the time line from rural living to mass urbanisation resulting in concrete jungles and the people realising that this is no longer the way they want to leave and moving towards a self sustaining way of living based on sharing resources.

 

 

 

 

This diagram is attempting to depict the dispersion of culture through a multi cultural society. Where the cross circles and square represent different cultures. The discussions surrounds weather or not it is a good thing to have separate cultures or if more harmony could be achieved by the dispersion of cultures.

 

Questions from the tutorial were why to some cultures stay true and string to their beliefs while others are far more relaxed in the way they approach culture? 

 

 

 

 

Sketches of potential basic form of the community. Playing around with the potential of the building becoming a natural land form type shape that is utilised as recreational space, possible stage areas for the festival and areas to grow fruit / vegetables. Possible scenario would be to grow vegetables throughout the year harvest prior to the festival and then use the spaces for the festival.  

 

 

 

 

Very quick sketches getting some ideas down on paper.

Lower left image: Is working through an idea where people living in this community may no longer own tv, instead there a multiple large format screens (like a cinema) that play television and become a living room for the community as appose to a living room for a single family.

Right hand image: Is showing a similar thing where individual dwellings come together to form one structure, in these situations some of the living spaces become common to multiple sets of people.
