WEEK TWO LECTURE: FUTURE VISIONS AND SCENARIOS


How to create Architecture Fiction?

We are asked to design an architectural entity that provides critical scenes and successfully demonstrates that it responds well to your future scenario.

What will my Future Scenario be?

After listening to the lecture I instantly knew which scenario I would be interested in doing…

Suburban:

What if all retail stores in Paddington Central stopped selling goods in favour of online stores, but decided to keeps physical presence for customer experiences.

This topic interests me, and I feel suits my design style. I prefer to attempt a smaller scale project and pay more attention to detail, to truly explore my design ideas. 

I feel the concept of retail stores no longer selling goods, is a very realistic and relevant prediction. It is evident to see this occurring more and more as online shopping becomes more accessible and convenient. 

This leads to the most important questions… what will be the future purpose of shops? What material objects will be found in them? What experiences will occur in them?
