Tutorial Two Group Work

REGIONAL

coomamusic.com.au

Self sustaining community = all waste is a resource: closed loop system

NEEDS

Economy, leadership/direction, food/water, waste collection, trades, recreational/green spaces, shelter, authority/laws, education/health, infrastructure (roads etc.), technology/communication, shops/jobs, energy

POSSIBLE FUTURE NEEDS

Population control, society structure, refugee accommodation, protection (from war and diseases)

Requires proper urban-planning for future expansion!

VIRTUAL

intuition-eunetwork.org

"NOT REAL" Conceptual

Movies similiar: Surrogates, Matrix

'Virtual Glasses' - a blank empty room filled with personal virtual possessions (possible to lose the gap between reality and virtual?)

No need to leave home! Safety aspects

Too much reliance on technology? Flaws = viruses

Alternative cities eg. no need for cars/transport (think of implications on future)

URBAN

planetminecraft.com

No cars in city scenario

Big dependency on PUBLIC TRANSPORT and DELIVERY systems

Underground services/transport - no need for road space! Can be used for green spaces ORGANIC/RANDOM CITY, plus recycling of road materials

Recycling of cars not needed into modular building pieces!

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORT

Helicopters, cycling, walking, trams, trains, walking, FUTURE: jetpacks, tube systems, segways

IMPLICATIONS

Car market/producers will suffer

Less cars are needed: not enough buyers

SUBURBAN

Futuristic shopping/retail experiences

Holograms/projections

Works through virtual SENSES: Taste, smell, feel etc.

USABILITY - eg. London Apple store (allowing the user to test the product first)

Futurustic selling of FOOD:

Pills? Design your own meal of taste! Even though you simply swallow the same pill everyday you can still buy certain tastes for that pill (eg. steak with tomato sauce) Fulfills the human desire of taste

Possible game of hunting your actual food before you eat

Futurustic selling of TRANSPORTATION:

Future transportation such as pressurized tubes, single person capsules, flying cars (eliminates parking space), electric/solar energy run, hover vehicles, integration of public and private transport!
