“10 years from now it might be sitting here quite perfectly, but right now its a bit of a contrast - but contrast is good” “At first, I didn’t like it, but after you experience it, you like it very much” “It’s very nice to have a building like this in our city” “I think a building like this doesnt fit anywhere and fits everywhere because it’s so different ”

Complex Geometric forms Pushing for Innovation - Design Brief Sucessful execution of design intent
Ability to fabricate complex geometries Translation of designs into fabrication Innovation bridging the gap between Architecture and construction Fabrication on restricted sites Cost Control - Ability to identify Cost Requirements
Ability to use scripting in a more contextual way in relevance of the site. Ability to generate complex forms to generate new innovative forms to appeal to the stakeholders. Ability to push for interaction on the site - brief requirement

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
The Capsular Civilization On the City in the Age of Fear Lieven De Cauter NAi Publishers Reflect #3 2004
RE-CONNECTION THE CAPSULAR CIVILZATION
Humans have to hide in clothes, in architecture, settlements, fortresses and cities – in a sense, obvious and trans-historical – one might say that all civilizations have been ‘capsular’ “A capsule is a holder, a container ... a tool or an extention of the body which, having become an artificial environment, shuts out the outer, hostile environment.” The car: earthbound model of mobile residence: immediately, the car was seen as the extension of the house, an artificial interior – in short, a capsule.
EMPLOYMENT LOCATION (WYNDHAM)
OCCUPATION OF WORKERS
WHERE DO RESIDENTS WORK?
MODE OF TRANSPORT TO WORK
Employment in Wyndham tells us who is interacting with Wyndham on a daily basis for work. 57.5% of people who work in Wyndham but travel out to get home. This informs us of another
Occupation has a large deal to do with who interacts with the site. For example: 36.7% are tradesmen. The tradesmen work on the road and work during daylight hours. This influences the method of interaction to target this
Travelling in and out of Wyndham is an important factor for the site. 57% of residents travel out of Wyndham for work, so they influence how the site will interact with them during this travel
73.9% use cars as a mode of transport to get to work. This means that a large percentage of the population will interact with the site to get to work.

36.7% of workers are tradesmen. The site will continously changed throught the day for them.

How the site changes throughout the day is important. If people are working 9-5, the hours of transport between are crucial as they will experience the design twice in a day.
