STUDIO WEEK FIVE DEVELOPMENTS


The studio this week was really productive, especially in figuring out what direction we will be going for the first assignment.


CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT
Hive Mind Mentality 

A distributed system with a centre controlling structure (as in, each element works for, and report to the "queen bee")

versus 

Anarchic Mentality



A distributed system with no leader, and a self governing structure (as in, each element thinks and works for itself)


The diagram below shows a good representation of various centralised/ decentralised / distributed mentalities...



STRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
- Possible nodes of activity that function in a hive mentality, located across Australia
- Location derived from population density
- Linked by existing railway infrastructure (as it is the most constant, and wide spread sustainable infrastructure --  and has a great opportunity for future developments), and creation of new railway links


PURPOSE OF THE NODES?
- To act as the previously mentioned 'Agents of Parliament'
- Either each node will encompass all nine agents, or each will have a specific purpose?
- Act as a space for collaboration and innovation between public and the parliament
