Building on the discussions from last week we focused on
developing our scenario to be more specific. We are focusing on methods and
ideas that will change society’s perceptions in order to create long-term
solutions.
Miller’s Triangle and the ‘Young at Heart’
The significance of Miller’s Triangle, and how the levels connect and depend on each other.
This corresponds with our ideas as we place the ‘Young at Heart’ at the top, as they are the source of life experience and knowledge.
This knowledge is intended to be passed on to the younger generations. This is knowledge that can be lost over time, experiences of natural disasters or of war.
These individuals will become mentors for the community and will have specialized knowledge in differing areas of life.
The aging community needs to be exposed to the young community and involved in educating the younger generation so that past knowledge and life experience is not lost or wasted

The Merging of Home and Trades
Skills and knowledge will be traded along with goods
Certain homes will specialize in certain skills
As skills develop in a household we discussed the potential of having residential houses connection to the commercial family business
This idea reduces travel time/expenses and minimizes traffic congestion at peak times, while also catering for urban sprawl through a higher density of living/ working
Follows the tradition of Japanese to have business on the ground floor and living areas above

Architectural Opportunities
The idea of a home that can change in size to cater for the constant changing in occupancy throughout our outline ‘life cycle’. It was suggested that rooms are able to be added or subtracted to a house based on the users need at certain times of their life. When this home is not in use it can be shifted to another family that needs it.
Paddington Central would become a meeting/ community/ market place of knowledge and learning. I wouldn’t hold the commercial shops but instead be the source of a directory as to the location of businesses in the area. Homes and businesses would all be situation within close proximity.
Due to parking as an issue in this area, we proposed a chairlift solution system for produce to commute in and out of Paddington. This could also cater for the circulation of pedestrians through the area.

Utilizing the Topography
We explored the concept of utilizing the topography of the area due to the location of the site (situated on a hill surrounded by a gully).
Paddington Central is stretched along a ridge rather than on a central level location
The gully would provide good fertile land to sustain some crop, able to be utilized within the community
Buildings would be constructed with the slope of the gully terrain
Nice vista of surrounding suburbs
