week 5 - architectural possibilities

as a group we have decided that to help us structure our research and progression towards the final presentation it is important to structure how we would like to address the issue of self-sufficiency in woodfordia...

after phil crowthers lecture we felt a strong attachment to the notion of

moving, eating, dwelling, making, breathing 

 

 

we felt that we could carry these 5 key elements through each panel to help direct our point of view and give us some possibilities / scenarios to work with...

 

i.e

 

moving - the cost of fossil fuels rising, becoming unaffordable - how could this be addressed in woodfordia???

eating - the shortage of food supplies in the future, how the community of woodfordia can become self   sufficient in this regard...?

dwelling - inner city crowding - rising real estate prices, over sized housing - how woodfordia residents could    apply pattern language to ensure the houses in the commune were built appropriately.

making - what making means today and what it would mean in woodfordia - does what we do for a job define who we are or vice versa in the new woodfordia???

breathing - how we are strangeling the world by polluting and removing forrest etc - alternatively how could the people of woodfordia give back to the natural landscape of woodford through regeneration and giving back!

 

 

these 5 key elements give a solid grounding into how our final boards will be presented wo draw them altogether and carry the story line of our character through timeline...
