time to develop my brief.


the purpose of my space is a Political Strategy Institute (PSI)
think of a think tank/ CSIRO for politics.


I stole the organisational chart from the CSIRO to assess how much/what spaces I would need.

It's quite hard to see this image properly, so here is a link: http://www.csiro.au/files/files/ptf8.pdf

the government departments in Australia were then investigated and it was determined that 13 departments would be needed for the PSI

-  Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

- Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy

- Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency

- Department of Defence

- Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations

- Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs

- Department of Finance and Deregulation

- Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

- Department of Health and Ageing

- Department of Human Services

- Department of Human Services

- Department of Immigration and Citizenship

- Department of Infrastructure and Transport

- Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research

- Department of Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government

- Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism

- Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities

using this information, a brief for spaces required was developed,

my space is an parliament strategy institute.


users: professionals, experts, researchers, politicians, PhD Candidates, advanced degree students.

project two

the districts of our masterplan were divided.

i got the area near capital circle.

we decided to explore our original idea of the moving stations as our main flexible element. 
developing sketch ideas:

cable car like moving elements... or perhaps a tank like bottom to deal with differences in foundations and ease of moving

structure built over large tracks:

grid like foundation, slotting in walls to create structures when necessary:

we decided to implement a flexible foundation with modular architecture. flexible posts would secure the buildings in.

the flexible foundation could also be used as a flexible landscape and have different arrangements, i.e becoming an amphitheatre; 

perhaps there could be a fixed core which modules are attached/detached?

one core services many modules

module shapes and configurations

presentations

week 6 presentations: 

now onto project 2!!
