Ruwan and Allen gave a warm reception and series of points were raised.
Ruwan commented on my structure being flawed. I agree with Ruwan in this and I still feel I have a lot to learn about architectural technology. Future changes to the project could include a structural changes to provide greater and adaptive qualities.
For instance a stronger shell structure could provide future space to build. This next step could include a structure system unlike the steel structure used.
A spider's web supports weight much stronger steel and stronger technologies will be available in the future. Carbon Fiber is a light weight, but other variations could be used in the future.
Another point was the use of the building. The stadium would be able support a high volume of people, but that would fluctuate, similar to any other stadium. Mixed use underneath the stadium could support greater uses during the day such as small retail or food court.
Most of all this project has been most worthwhile. Unlike other previous projects I stepped into future where I was able explore an "unbelievable" design (Arthur C. Clarke, 1964). This project gave me the opportunity to research augmentative reality. I personally feel that architecture will face this issue or something very similar and will continue to evolve.
