Project 2 Breif - Parasite

Contextual and spatial parameters: Folies to buildings
-                      Revisit contextual, geographical and social issues you investigated in project 1 again, identify key issues relevant to your theme (parasite) and investigate further. He folie itself may cease to exist in your main project but the CONCEPT needs to be utilised.

-                      You are expected to gain a very good understanding of your group theme, site, users, relationships to surrounding areas and Brisbane as a whole as a subtropical city. This project will serve as a research and initial design proposal phase of your project.

-                      Define contextual parameters you will use to evaluate the conceptual relevance of your investigations. Parameters provide a means to identify your core interests and help you to focus your attention to specific issues you are to investigate. By identifying several good parameters with specific interests, you can begin to identify a clear goal of your project.  Limit the scope of what you are going to deal with for the rest of this semester.

-                      This phase is not for you to produce a set of generic site analysis. You are expected instead to engage with your own unique research method to identify issues beyond what everyone can see as obvious facts. Investigate with the method you invent to provide your own unique outcomes, which will eventually become the core inspiration and concept for your building project for the rest of this semester.

Additional theme group parameters – Parasite
-          Not a group project but each design will become part of one organism.
-          I will be in the housing division designing for students.
-          Design could be located any where
-          Create a strong idea with a definite vision so everyone just knows.
-          Presentation is part of your design.
