The masterplan in some ways, best shows how my thoughts have progressed from the original study of retail spaces in my future scenario to the end festival design. It shows how i see the potential development of office spaces becoming increasingly freelance and collaboratively based - this is as a result of economic situations as well as the changes in attitudes occurring towards sharing and ownership (file sharing etc). It is also largely based on the assumption that as we can not sustain an economy reliant on products created from resources that we do not have, we will switch to a much more knowledge based economy - i see the design fields and arts becoming a much more central part of this new economy.
The festival is designed to be a vehicle for experimentation of ideas related to this new economy and subsequent changing role of our city.
