Defining the design direction

Following our in-class group discussion, we have decided to proceed in somewhat the same direction for the design component, while still maintaining our own goals and ideas.  We have decided that in order to maximise the output of content which we presented as possible outcomes, we will divide the task evenly amongst the 4 of us.  We will each design a mobile responsive unit, the function of which can be specific, or left as flexible as we desire.  We will also each design the “node” (or terminal as I see it) where these mobile units will converge/meet/deploy/coordinate etc.  Due to the mobile unit being…..well…….mobile, it is less likely to be more efficient as single region site response, as it may need to be moved to other regions.  The Node however, the static architecture which we will also focus on, will be permanent and as such should have a more particular focus on site specific response.  Our presentation identified 4 key landscape identities which make up regional Australia, these are ;
Coastal – to be designed by Mitchell Young
Desert – to be designed by Beau Davis
Rural – to be designed by Rosabella Borsellino
Bushland – to be designed by myself.
While we each want to be able to explore our own ideas, it is important to us that to realise a whole mobile system across regional Australia, our mobile units and terminals will need to ”talk” to each other through identity, technology, infrastructure and mobile architecture.
