During the first project i feel that our group where a bit too over estimating the technological advancement of the year our assignment what set in, particularly in the way society would operate and in the advancement of 'green technology'. I think that we where beginning to work in the world of science fiction rather than architectural fiction.
I feel that the beginning of the lecture forced me to bring my ideas back to reality. I feel that in 2020 it will most likely be subtle advancements, similar to the ones shown in the lecture example that we will need to deal with. I feel that the needs of tomorrow will not be very different to the needs of today, although i do feel that environmental issues will be treated much more seriously and with greater urgency as we begin to see some disturbances in the built environment.
Creating a piece of architecture in the form of a fictional 'story' is proving to be both interesting and challenging. I am particularly find that in order to ground the concepts in reality, statistical research is required for each design decision. While this is tedious, it does give me a certain confidence in what I am doing, as well as making sure that there is some data to support that the design proposal is enhancing the functionality of Woodfordia.
Of the criteria, one of the main points that I am beginning to deal with is the first person experience of the space. It is proving to be a function of combining a sensory experience with data to suggest why it is happening. I am finding that what the space looks like is not as important and the embedded purpose of the architectural gesture.
From the lecture, I realize that I am in need of much more statistical data to inform the direction of my project.
