week 4: people and lifestyles

the group began the process of discussing how we thought the people that would inhabit our woodfordia...

what is the premise behind their move there??? it all goes back to the circumstances effecting them...

-unemployment?
-housing affordability?
-rising food costs?
-inability to afford electricity? 
-over population?

overall it came down to the premise of not being able to provide for themselves within the city they live in... a need to self sustain and self actuate...

in terms of reliance on technology and capital - all these things can be achieved in a low tech fashion... however first of all a person requires basic necessities before luxuries... 

lazlo's theory became a strong topic for discussion... 


people need to breathe, eat, drink, sleep and shit effectively - all of which can be done without the reliance on computers or technology... so in the first instance these should be addressed - then the rest will follow.

in the future we developed an image of an infant woodfordia based on collaboration and sharing - helping others to establish themselves out of the need to survive. utilising skill sets previously held to develop a harmonious system aimed toward self actuation
