014 Week 3 Tutorial - Architectural Fiction

Sketch & Words of an integrated infrastructure supporting public transport and housing .
Technology has always been a huge part in the lives of Jahn & Hazel. It was frustrating for this couple, who relies greatly on public transport to move from point A to point B, especially at the start of the day when they're about to leave the house. They look for an urban development that not only had integrated public transport but one that  is devoid of any form of private transportation within 1km of their development. What they found was private housing that was integrated with a digital network that informs them of updated information of when and where the next public transport will be and/or arrive. Having this virtual system implemented as a staple in their lives allow themselves to be more efficient in terms of mobilising from place to place and acting out their daily routines. This results in some of their excess time being allocated to a zone that is now flexible and open to other activities which enriches both their lives.
