WEEK 2: Lecture

This week’s lecture gave a further introduction to the themes and the expectations of students. Yasu gave a basic ‘What if?‘ scenario for each theme (see below)

Urban:
What if Brisbane City Council decided to introduce London style Congestion Charge to CBD in 2020 to heavily reduce traffic congestion in the area?

Suburban:
What if all retail stores in Paddington Central stopped selling goods in favour of online stores, but decided to keep physical presence for customer experiences?
Regional

What if Woodford Folk Festival site were to become a self-sufficient community that was to be managed and operated self-sufficiently?

Virtual:
What if Queensland Government’s key strategy were to resolve Urban, Suburban and Regional issues Virtually?

This obviously influenced a lot of thought, as well as a lot of questions. Yasu was pushing our sense of architecture to be greatly broadened by the conceptual envisioning of the possible scenarios. I’m not sure what I’m getting into....
