presentation ideas/ images

The public drives past and sees that modules have increased/ have changed. Gain security that the Government is doing something.

Materials used:

concrete insulated. 
glass
steel
grass

Wall panels are mostly concrete to ensure structural stability and adhere to the climate of Canberra.
Grass on top of foundation. Suits surroundings of Capital Circle and provides greenery and aesthetic value.
functional machinery (hydraulic posts etc.) = steel

foundation moves up. doors act as windows

can slide across

when stacked, the glass can push out to allow air circulation.

Saw Natasha and Brant today.

Natasha's Feedback: 
other modules? not just one. may increase flexibility
think about aesthetics. will people want to work here?
Your presentation idea of the timeline is good.


Brant's Feedback:
may need another services module, because this may get big.


so i have decided on:
3 modules - original module, kitchen module, services module
grass top on the hydraulic posts, will look like flexible terrain

sketch up model to show Brant and Natasha.

Criteria check. Just to have a think about.

• 2. Infrastructure
  3. 1. Strategy (12.5%): Has the infrastructural strategy been developed and communicated well in the blog and final presentation/submission? 
        Description: What is your strategy for utilising an existing or newly proposed infrastructure? How does it influence the way you design an architectural entity and how it improves the way politicians, governmental institutions and others offer and people access parliamentary and/or governmental services? 
        
        
     2. Logistics (12.5%): Has the logistics been considered and well incorporated in the design? Has the development been well documented and communicated well in the blog and final presentation / submission?
        Description: Your design is required to respond to changing needs. Whether it is an instantaneous, temporary or long-term change, it is needed to be a part of your design consideration. How is your architectural entity designed to change, move, shift, transform, adapt, interact, etc.? Where do components and/or information stored? Where are they generated or manufactured and delivered?

        
        

        
        
  4. Tectonic Resolution
  5. 1. Purpose and Function (12.5%): Has the purpose and function of the architectural entity be chosen in response to (latent) needs? Is the design response appropriate? Has the development been well documented and communicated well in the blog and final presentation / submission?
        Description: It is imperative that your design effectively provides parliamentary and/or governmental services in response to needs. You are to creatively investigate the (latent) needs, and it is essential that your proposed architectural entity provide solutions or opportunities for people to resolve issues.

        
        

        
        
     2. Circulation and Access (12.5%): Has the use of architectural entity been studied and the circulation within and/or access to it been studied? Is it evident in the design? Has the development been well documented and communicated well in the blog and final presentation / submission?
        Description: No matter what you design, it will fail if people are not given appropriate access to, within and/or between your proposed spaces. It is very important that you provide enough evidence in your development stages and final outcome that your architectural entity has good circulation and access.

        
        

        
        
     3. Structural and/or Operational Integrity (12.5%): Has the structural and/or operational integrity been studied and made evident in design? Has the development been well documented and communicated well in the blog and final presentation / submission?
        Description: How believable is your proposition? It is very important that the proposal demonstrates your design decisions are informed by clear understanding of physical and practical limitations. You are required to demonstrate structural integrity of your design proposal, and/or in some cases, operational integrity to show how the distributed or virtual artefacts work as an architectural entity.

        
        

        
        
  6. Poetic Resolution
  7. 1. Presence and Identity (12.5%): Has the impact of the proposed entity's presence been considered and its identity been chosen with strong understanding of what it needs to represent and signify?
        Description: It is vital that the presence of your proposed entity is appropriate for the context and signifies the services it offers. It therefore is very important to give specific consideration to how people identify and recognise your proposed architectural entity as a whole and/or a part.

        
        

        
        
     2. User Experience (12.5%): Has the experience of users been considered and effectively presented from the perspectives of users?
        Description: It is imperative that you made your design decisions based on the requirements of people who will experience and use (a part of) the proposed entity. You need to demonstrate not only generic appearances of spaces with people, but also construct scenarios to orchestrate how specific people in specific need experiences and utilise services offered by the proposed entity or parts.

        
        

        
        
     3. Aesthetic Rigor (12.5%): Has the effort been made to pay attention to detail in your communication?
        Description: This criterion is to reward your attitude towards preparing successful architectural communication. As architects, you will spend majority of time communicating ideas to your peers, bosses, clients, engineers, contractors and/or other stakeholders. What and how you prepare and present directly influence how others evaluate the credibility of your claim. Your commitment towards visual communication during development stages (through blog entries), final presentation and in your final submission is to be assessed.
