Individual Project One Statement

Situation

Future scenario,

Through a group discussion and brainstorming, our group came out with scenario, which consider what happen in past, present and future. By looking at the war that been happen in world we suspect that will be a world war 3 in the future. And what will happen to our world?

Task

World in the future? what will happen in 2050?

The prediction of world war 3 is all of the countries will destroy, the government and economic are collapse. We suspect countries in the world are going to be one united nation. By looking at the present situation, we as an architect are trying to make some solution for the future, while the world have to adapt and respond with a rapid changes.

Action

The decline of resource and the increase of population might be the key issue for people in the future, how do they survive in this world. In order to survive we should living in the small self-sufficient community and each community specialized in one product or service with focussed on sharing, supply and knowledge.

 

Result

By looking at woodford festival, the cultural, activities and life style showing the understanding of connection, people and environment that can turn the temporary resident to self sufficient permanent resident. woodford is a good exemplar to create new self sufficient community, while people will learn how to share and connect. All the resource is there, what should we do is how to make it works. For instance, the centre of woodford is a community centre, which is the core of the community where people can interact with others. in my opinion the elderly should live near the community centre therefore they not inadequate experience of connectedness with community.

Learnt

There is a quote said that people who don’t have a shelter are houseless, not homeless. Homeless has nothing to do with lack of shelter, but they lack of connectedness and belonging to family or community. The homelessness is actually elderly people where their spouse has died and their children live far away. From this idea I should think how do we respond to fact that we should live in community. For the next project, I intend to further explore the potential of connection and community centre in architectural design approach.
