Assessment 02: The Place To Be - Architectural Proposal
- Infrastructure
- 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?
Utilising existing and proposed rail network to connect to major cities. The Structure is designed within the dimension constraints to fit within this type of infrastructure making distribution more efficient to areas throughout Australia.
In doing so the governmental agencies will be distributed throughout Australia to allow more equality amongst communities access
- 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?
The design adapts to the variety of needs of different governmental agencies with several types of structural plugg-ins. Manufactured in a factory and delivered onsite via existing transport infrastructure and adapting onsite to physical needs.
The plugg-ins expand once onsite to create a more identifiable and unique structure within the public space.
- Tectonic Resolution
- 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.
This structure provides vital education, governmental accessibility and services to communities outside of the Australian Capital. In a similar way that the Capital is a meeting place for politicians the hub will create a meeting place within communities outside Canberra ensuring political equity for all Australians.
- 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.
Access, amenity and appropriate circulation are vital to the success of the public space. Entry access into the structure is made easy with generous ramp access for wheelchairs, the elderly and prams.
Internal circulation is open with minimal interfering walls to obstruct movement.
- 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.
Practical and Physical size limitations
Structural integrity
Operational integrity of distributed entity
- Poetic Resolution
- 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.
Signifying a meeting place for the community. Structure is to be situated within a popular public space to act as a beacon of sorts of information, activity and accountability.
- 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.
Users
Community, general public, indigenous communities, people with disabilities, the elderly, children and governmental workers.
EXAMPLE of USERS:
Indigenous people
People with diabilities
- 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.
Development stages : Blog
Final Presentation : Presentation Communications
Final Submission : Overall idea
