Our Proposal

Our team discussed and further developed our proposal in more detail today. We also met Kat Aland who joined our group.

Our proposal identifies the main issues with the existing parliament as its isolation (in both a physical sense and also in a systems sense) from the people.

We have addressed the need to distribute the parliament through all of the cities of Australia, and in such a way that the people are invited to participate and become part of the process.

I created a graphic that illustrates our main idea of the decentralisation of the parliament. Rather than having a centre of power and the people on the outside of that, the parliament is distributed among the people.

Our architectural solution will distribute parliamentary meetings, cabinet meetings, with the potential to add another, more interactive layer to the system for the people. They will have an opportunity to interact and get involved with these events that are held in our proposed architectural spaces, whether it be through digital or other means.

Our proposal has the potential to facilitate a transformation from a tree structure to a semi-lattice structure, not only in the physical distribution of the parliament but in the government systems themselves and the distribution of power to the people.
