People and Lifestyles

Brisbane 2032 - Initial Ideas for Poster 3


  • People find it strange that in the past you had to drive your own vehicles and go accross relatively large distances in order to service everyday needs.
  • With larger amounts of people living closer together, there is greater emphasis on community.
  • Due to greater demand, outdoor entertainment and activities are far more numerous, people spend less time in their homes compared to present day suburban lifestyles.
  • New transport technologies enable police and emergency services to get around very quickly, making it very difficult for criminals to flee a crime scene, and fire brigade and ambulance services very fast and efficient.

Architectural Possibilities

  • Underground carparks turned into something else:
    • water tank storage
    • hydro farming
  • New construction system
    • building/complex that grows like a city - new spaces added/adapted/rearranged over time as needs change
  • Roads ripped up and turned into open space
    • social interaction spaces
    • parks and gardens
    • public transport routes
    • "breakout" space
