After talking to Steph in this tutorial we all began to try and define our direction and think about the lifestyles and activities of future Woodfordia to get us thinking about our architecture within it.
- Ground the scenario within the site: how do people live there, what do we design from there
- Masterplanning the site
- Believability of what happens
Thinking about refining our future from project 1, I definitely want to continue to look at how the climate changes are effecting the world and how the climate refugees would impact Woodfordia. Drawing the future back from 2050 won't necessarily limit these disruptions as the world is already looking at climate refugees existing ie
Tuvalu &
Bangladesh both being so low-lying that they'll easily be effected.
With climate refugees and their impact, thinks that I need to think about are:
- Importing culture
- Importing farming skills & techniques
Thinking about designing Woodfordia as a learning centre I will need to consider:
- How it leads the nation
- Structure of the site
- Am I housing only refugees? How should they live?
- How big is the festival? Will it take up arable land?
- What spaces will the users need
I need to look into farming and consider:
- Intensive market gardens
- Farmers that were displaced and are now climate refugees
- How are we feeding ourselves as a nation? What are we eating and how are we farming it?
- Broadacre VS polyculture
- Integrated systems
- Water & storm systems - swales, wetlands, water storage
