W2 Future Scenarios

Urban: Brisbane city with no cars

With this scenario it is important to consider the cultural and social implications of the implementation of the no car scenario.
We suggest that the best way to move forward with this strategy is to go with an organic strategy, suggesting a slow expansion on the streets that are best suited to be transformed into a pedestrian thoroughfare. This allows the public to accept the change and integrate it into the social and cultural expectations and norms.

Suburban: Sustainable retail

So what happens to the physical retail store once we shift to on-line retail?

The physical store might eventually morph into a product 'experiencing' store this would redefine the department store possibly leading to the death of traditional marketing.

On-line tutorials could soon become in store tutorials showcasing the product in a new way to enhance customer satisfaction with the overall experience of the brand. Experiencing physical in digital virtual reality.

This would revolutionise the postal and transport systems as people will demand quick delivery of their products. 

Regional: Self sufficient community

Create a community camp site, facilitating the protection of and management of the site. This is achieved through encapsulation the lifestyle that people come to experience when attending a festival.

Virtual: Strategies for all regions

Virtual allows quick change which overcomes the barriers of space and time. Instantness allows cultural change quickly with no physical barriers. This manifests the creation of multiple realities, one person moves into the sun because to them that place seems more enticing, they are having a conversation with the person in front of them, but the person in front of them doesn't move because in there reality they did not choose to move, but both are still having a conversation  with each other face to face, their realities have divided.

Is there a need for architecture any more in this virtual reality? Yes, architecture is the management of relationships, facilitating interaction with one another. But this architecture is in flux, constantly changing with everything virtually changing opening the bridge of communication.
