WEEK 7: Typology

In the tutorial our group collaborated again. In order to move forward with our individual architectural vision we concluded with the following.

Current Uses of Brisbane CBD

• Retail
• Food courts
• Business
• Cinema
• Socialising spaces

Scenario Goals

• Lifestyle + Experience focused
• Boutique retail speciality
• Quality of life.

From this we talked about our architectural possibilities and suggested possible architectural typologies that connected with our goals.

Boutique 

• Learning Centre
• Specialty stores

Green Agriculture

• Vertical Farming / Open source farming
• Related restaurants and enterprises working together
• Fish farming
• Air filter
• Greenspace/parkland
• Energy production
• Library

From the movie, Tron the game, Disc Wars.

We didn't have a list of possible architectural entities for modular, but found that it was able to be combined into the other scenarios. From this, I brought up that a particular goal was experience visualised the movie, Tron. In the movie, Sam the protagonist becomes a competitor in DiscWars, which is similar to frisbee, but you can die if it touches you.

Here is a few pictures from this video.

I really like this idea, but implementation could be difficult. I think it suits the experience value in our scenario and would be enjoyable designing. On a side note another idea I found interesting was designing a night club. A modular club / hotel could also be a possible typology.
