I have collected information and developed ideas over the past few weeks that have reinforced the need for our solution to be integrated into the built and social fabric of our cities.
The first step in this process is to start thinking about which elements of infrastructure could potentially support a distribution of a parliament or some elements of a parliament.
The public has regular access to:
Public institutions: Libraries, governmental institutions/ organisations
Public or commercial architecture: Shopping centres, malls, markets
Public transport infrastructure
Cityscape (built and landscape)
The latter 2 avenues strike my interest for further consideration are:
PUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE
Opportunity to take time in many people’s lives that is spent waiting or killing time.. instead of disconnecting from the world around them they can connect to the government and participate.
You already have their time and proximity.. now all you need to do is to install a device that invites their participation.
Invite participation..
Evoke discussion..
CITYSCAPE (BUILT AND LANDSCAPE)
An opportunity to integrate with the aspects of our lifestyle that are identifiably Australian. Is it possible that a system of architectural spaces could be distributed through, say, our parks to offer alternative opportunities for socialising whilst simultaneously participating in our parliament? An truly interactive, outdoor embracing solution?
