WEEK 5: Tutorial

In this week's tutorial my group worked together to try and illustrate what we would put on the board. Here is a summary:

OVERALL 2040
As a result of the growth and integration of the virtual world and increase in population, Brisbane has become decentralized, transforming the function of the city.

FUTURE VISIONS
  • Integration of the virtual world. Proof today.
  • Artificial Intelligence / robots (Not sure if we should go into this)
  • Great population growth causing great demands for food, water and resources.
  • Change of functional use of the city due to great use of the internet.(shopping or employment will mostly be on the internet)
  • Transport: Self driving ubiquitous taxi service (people WONT drive cars), high speed magelv (frictionless train), everything will be inclose proximately (due to the decentralised city). 
 SUSTAINABLE FUTURE
  • Multifunction buildings allowing crop trading and walkable connections. 
  • Global culture spread through wide spread use of technologies and the web for gaming, shopping, busines, entertainment and internet. 
  • Green buildings that trade crops. 
  • Multifunctional building minimising car use.

 LIFESTYLES 
  • Dencentralised families within hubs to support the aging population. 
  • Minimised transport use through walkable and decentralised hubs. Maglev and self driving traxing support long trips.
  •  The city becomes a place of experience, with great change of lifestyles demanding happiness rather than money.
  • People are able to work from home or any due to change working conditions.  
 Architectural
  • Modular design allowing fast prefabricated construction. 
  • Urban agriculture allowing appealing cities and support great population food demands. 
  • Boutique retail allowing specialised retail, due to demand of experience and quality  in markets. 
  • Multifunctional dwelling supporting employment, residential and food production.
  • Refurbished and retrofitting of city to present needs of the city, without wasting valuable infrastructure.
