Review

with all the assessment due last week I didn't get around to contributing anything to my blog. and so this entry will be a bit of a review of the progress and outcomes since my last entry.

firstly we cemented out architectural literature to base the remainder of the work on. This was as follows in dot points:

- Year 2040, in the last 20 years the rise Brisbane's market culture took over public green space.
- the need for facilities to house local cooperative techniques and sustainable production.
surfacing of small satellite cooperative communities; emphasising Stakeholder participation and empowerment for resource management and development programs.
- Mass-produced consumer goods abandoned, in favor of products with perceived communal ownership and recognizable origins.
Architects saw the opportunity to adapt existing centres of consumption, such as Paddington Central, to accommodate places of production.
A project timeline was conceived by the community. The model sought to provide more basic needs first, moving into higher-level needs according to Maslow's theory. Eventually these communities begun to specialize. 
- The residents of Brisbane found that they very rarely had waste,Society better understood its own relationship and responsibility to the external environment.
Society adapted its systems to achieve a more communal lifestyle that allowed production and consumption to be closely monitored and eventually reached a state of equilibrium.

From here I wrote a story. in short here is the story.

2046, Paddington Brisbane, in the middle of the local ‘Super-duper’ ( paddington central) we study the life of middle-aged furniture builder; called Nick.


 Paddington is knows as the hub for Antiques, furniture and collectables. Drawn to this community by his profession as a craftsman nick spends his day building and recycling homewards. 


- In return for his work nick receives credits to spend on his other necessities. 
In the early 2000 the community recognized that specialization had led to lack of shared knowledge and so a library system was established to record knowledge.
Nick has to cook diner and isn’t the greatest cook and so he relies on the skill library available to the whole community as well as other community members.


- Surrounded by his peers and mentors nick and his family dine at the super duper.
