Project 1 Statement

An architectural proposition involves an iterative process, whereby ideas are continually tested and refined.  The response to the needs has also to be identified and taken into consideration. The needs include the cultural, ecological, political, environmental, technological, economic, geographical context.

The future scenario that we have considered is a world that people mostly rely on the technology. Most of the human activities can be done online, however some of the activities can never be replace. People still want physical activity and the children still need to be educate physically in order to have a health lifestyle. People in the future uses the chip as an ID card. The ID card can be sued as credit card, debit card, public transport. Online shopping is popular, pretty much they can get everything by going to the virtual world. Private transport will be reduce since people works and learn at home.

In my opinion, if people over-rely on one specific thing, and for the future scenario is technology, they will start losing the meaning for living. I afraid everyone in the future will just stay at home and stay in the virtual world which ignoring the fact that they are physically living in the real world. The real world will become unrealistic to them, which is like the the movie, Inception, people stay in the dream for more than 16 hours a day and wouldn't like to wake up, as they can fulfill whatever their desire wants within the dream. Therefore, I strongly encourage people, while we can save a lot of energy and live more sustainable by utilizing the virtual world, do not forget they are living in the phsycal real world.
