Exhibition:
Walking around the exhibition it was great to see each group's imagined scenario of what the future Brisbane CBD would look like. At a glance, and without reading the other group's posters in depth, it appeared as though some of the groups had similarly adopted a very sustainable vision for the future CBD, combined with a very strong technological presence. This involved the introduction of sustainable resources, sustainable sources of power and increased public transport. However, there were a few really different concepts presented, such as static nodes, increased connectivity and an urban utopia. Overall the quality of the presentations were good, and there were a range of presentation techniques. The most visually effective panels were ones which featured some sort of connecting graphic that linked all of the ideas together.
Crit:
The critique from the tutors was very short as we only had 2 minutes. Overall the 3 tutors seemed please with our ideas and were impressed that we had gone into so much detail with the new rapid transit pod system - by designing a network with routes and stations it showed that we really thought about how this would exist within the CBD and what sort of meaningful connections could be made. I believe this was a very strong point in our concept.
It wasn't said by the tutors, but personally I believe we could have highlighted the community and social sustainability more in the second panel (maybe with a map of possible community hub areas). It was, however, alluded to in the fourth panel - in the 3D perspective of Queen St displaying the social interaction taking place within the greenspace in Brisbane square (community zone), as well as in the diagrams showing produce areas in the street and on buildings (community activity zones). This may or may not have been clear in the presentation.
