Week 04: Character Charrette

Creating a personal scenario within our future imagined scenario allowed us to expand our thought in regards to the 'real' affects of the issues we had discussed. It revealed a shared agreement that looking at potential policies created in response to the crisis' would help to imagine design opportunities that may emerge. When looking into history the evolution of policy reveals a great deal on all other aspects of life at the time - it is a deeply embedded structure which responds and dictates human evolution. 
Key policies we proposed included:
-No cars in CBD (in response to climate change, carbon tax, increased population)
-Sustainable business rebates (climate change, resource crisis, shift in retail norms)
-No new buildings in CBD  (resource shortage, economy, social agenda for sustainable practice)
- Global agreement on immigration (compassion, acceptant of global responsibility, population balance with local carrying capacities)

We then went on further to analyse the benefits, consequences and architectural opportunities of these new policies.
