People and Lifestyles - Contribution

The scenario that we have proposed is a shift from a tradition commercial orientated city to a residential orientated mega-community city. This would be a huge change from the way that we live today, and it would have effects on all people. Initially we looked at how this scenario would be through the eyes of a young family, and how they would use the city. We developed parks for them, alternative residential options in the inner-city, and much more. We gave then a clean way to get around, and created a sense of community to help them feel secure. 

Other then this story we conjured to help develop our story, which was overally a group effort, my contributions to people and lifestyle ties in with one part of my architectural opportunities. The idea of Cedric Price inspired adaptable architecture is something that I feel would be perfectly suited to this style of future city, not to mention that future advances in technology is something that will make this style of design more and more plausible. It could even progress to the point that the architecture could change with the push of a button, allowing individual people to change one room into several rooms throughout the course of a day. The diagram I did for this can be seen below (it was left off the panels, due to crowding, and it not being in dropbox).

The image that I created for sustainability (rooftop green spaces) also relates to people and lifestyle. This space creates a sense of community by providing an area for gathering, as well as the potential for being a competitive sports area. This is something that I really like the idea of, sports grounds on the top of buildings. Kind like the Burj Al Arab Helipad, except you know, safe.
