STUDIO ALLOCATION


So I have been allocated to the studio group "DISTRIBUTED 2 : TRANSPROGRAMMING" with Cameron Thiessen. 
The theme group selection blurb is as follows;


"The traditional symbolism of Governance as part of the built fabric of the city...is it necessary to have a “seat of power”?


Distributed, overlapping, complex, decentralised. "Transprogramming", combining several types of overlapping program within the distributed network of the "Capital"."


Alexander, semi-lattice diagram 20, from “A City is not a tree”, 1965

Based on Cameron's work profile, it looks like I could gain some insight in to the 'public space' realm of design - which I'm quite excited about, as I have a keen interest in urban design. I'm looking forward beginning my design process within this theme group.

I will try to read the Alexander reading, "A City is not a tree" over the next few days.
