/Presentation Reflection
Today's presentation revealed a vast range of architectural entities for the future. I felt I had taken a risk in terms of my architectural function as it did not incorporate the usual residential and retail elements which were common throughout today's presentation.
Although my design did not incorporate futuristic technology, I explored my project in terms of urban sociology and how it may be altered in response to futuristic architectural possibilities. There was a large emphasis on what is considered 'realistic' for the future and I decided to steer away from thinking technologically. I wanted to keep my design as far away from technology as possible. The reason for this is because technology is a reason our environment and society is so fast paced. By implementing a new form of architecture in an urban environment, we are already thinking futuristically. There is no need to incorporate new age technology or high rise structures in my scenario; we are trying to bring suburbia into an urban environment.
In terms of my presentation, I was suggested to improve on my analysis of site context. As it is a new form architecture in an urban environment, it was suggested I look more into site analysis and how my building would have realistically looked on site. The guest critic commended me on my knowledge of research into the area, particularly its users and how I transformed the research into designing an urban pavilion.
Overall, I believe my design incorporates realistic elements whilst showing creativity in response to the chosen users.
