As the academic progresses comfortably into the end of Week 3, DAB810 Architectural Design 8 for Semester 2 of ADY 2011 is looking at The Competition - CAPIThethicAL as a base for a design proposal on a hypothethical Australian capital. This explains the exploration of ideas during tutorial in Week 2.
It focused on 4 themes of - Flexible, Mobile, Distributed, Virtual - as a catalyst to further elaborate on design ideas upon a blank canvas. Within each of these themes, we are expected to delve deeper in understanding on what makes a city tick or not using various mediums of understanding. Although, it is still very hazy at this early stage there are many questions that deserves to be researched on;
... what defines Australia?
... what defines an Australian city?
... how is Australia represented in the eyes of the world?
... is history and heritage important for an ever-growing Australian city?
... how do you define a physical place as "home" for the people?
... is an Australian capital a state of mind (non-tangible), or should it always be physical?
