Individual Project One Statement

For the development of Future Scenarios, thorough analysis was developed into the the global issues which will change the future of humanity and shape the world. Issues such as global warming (resulting in climate change and global flooding), the peak oil crisis, the depletion of non-renewable resources, the sustainability of a failing economy, population growth, and world peace and conflict.
Our Sustainable Future depends upon the appropriate technological advancements which will help humanity and the natural environment to survive these future scenario issues. Renewable fuels, renewable energy, alternative transport, resource locality, and sustainable design methods are a few of the key technological advancements which nations and investors must develop further. Our sustainable future also requires a global change of social thinking. Examples include developing a global alliance, changing culture attitudes and practices, and replacing individual goals with futuristic humanitarian goals.
Our future scenario is based on a world where a peak oil crisis occurred in 2030 and left the world with zero remaining fossil fuels. It is now 2042.. the world is still recovering from the loss of major markets and transport systems. Nonetheless it is a time of opportunity for a fresh start, instead of the disaster it once was. Humanity's communities are now closer than ever before, as they depend upon one another to survive and produce items which humans need, instead of what humans want. A concept for the future of People and Lifestyles includes the ideology of 'virtual self's. Hologram shadows which explain an individual deeper than their exterior, allowing humans to connect more deeply and understand someone at first glance better than we once did in 2012. It is the positive connectivity of humans through a  global and community engaged alliance which will save the future of the Earth and humanity.
Our future Architectural Opportunity incorporates much more than just communal spaces with the addition of virtual selves.  The concept of Cluster Cities allocates production, communication, education, politics and futuristic virtual retail into centralized nodes. As explained within my previous blog, cluster cities allow for efficient public transport, locality of resources, expansion for the natural environment and renewable energy systems, the establishment of vertical cities, and ofcourse centralized communal spaces for the community to engage within.
