Distillation Of Script

At this stage in the design process i can say i coming to a stage where i can satisfy the criteria of  the script and am comfortable to move to the next phase. While the script is not compleate at this stage there is enough information to synthesise the stage. At the bottom of this post is the Brief for this stage.


So here is the script:

"Disillusioned by current goverments in the midse of global finacial turmoil a group of people seek like minded individuals to establish a self governed community in Woodfordia. Inspired by the success of Auroville in India, they acquire rights to self govern under "The Woodfordia Act" by the Australian and Queensland Government. Core beliefs are set in place that form the framework of Woodfordia, they are listed below.

Priority to nation – priority to planet
Individualism – communitarianism
Independence – Interdependence
Autocracy – Democracy
Humanity against nature – Humanity part of nature (permaculture?)
Unsustainable production, consumption, development, lifestyles –Sustainable production, consumption, development, lifestyles
Patriarchy – Gender equality
Intercultural and inter religious intolerance/hostility – Intercultural and inter religious tolerance/harmony
Conflict resolution through confrontation/combat – Conflict resolution through cooperation/negotiation
Safekeeping through defense – Safekeeping through security


Governance is set in place that adheres to three key ideals, Transparency, Choice and Accountability. Leadership is given to the most able person rather than an elected official, it is his or her duty is to work in consultation with the community who all have a voice. Their Voice is delivered and heard through new age technology where transparency, choice and accountability is easily achieved. Woodfordia's Economy is made up of three components.

A Collective Economy - Mutual economy where the wealth is shared
Commercial Economy- Economy of the trade of goods and service
A Kind Economy - Economy that provides every citizens basic needs 

All three models of economy are of equal importance, and freedom is given to each individual achieve their fulfilment knowing that their basic needs are met every day. The result in 2050 is a thriving community with economic stability and happiness knowing that their voice is heard."




SCRIPT

Following criteria are to evaluate your ability to strategically communicate an architectural proposal through a creative as well as logically and realistically constructed series of events in the form of a factitious story


REALITY (12.5%): Have relevant contexts you can observe today been studied and well incorporated into your Architecture Fiction? Has the development been documented appropriately in your blog and outcomes been presented well in the final presentation/submission?

Description: It is important that your story is based on contexts that we are in today and assumptions you make are realistic and believable based on what you can observe today. Imagine yourself in your scenario and how you would be living in your version of the future. Please remember that you are to develop and present Architecture fiction, not Science fiction.


CREATIVITY (12.5%): Have background contexts extracted from your team's scenario developed in Project One been refined and developed into a unique and imaginative plot for your Architecture Fiction? Have the development been documented appropriately in your Blog and outcomes been communicated well in your presentation/submission?

Description: You are to develop an unique story to present your architectural entity deeply embedded in near future contexts. Your imagination and creativity therefore is critical to show your proposal is relevant and communicate important aspects of your proposal successfully. The story has to be developed and presented through methods of your choice such as a series of captured scenes, storyboard and/or a movie.
