WEEK 12 - SCRIPT

Due to the current financial situation, strain has been placed on many suburban areas in relation to employment. The CBD currently has the lowest risk of job loss than any other area, which is why thousands of vehicles travel to and from the city each business working day. Commuting is a necessity as housing prices are to expensive in close proximity to the CBD, which includes a lack of affordable and variable apartments to reside in within the CBD itself.
This problem is creating extreme issues of traffic congestion in which millions of dollars are being poured into infrastructure to help with the expected population growth by 2051.
The question is- what would be the result if working from home was an option, and how could this be done?

The diagram above portrays the distances people are commuting from each day. A closer look into the reasons why people must commute have lead me to the solution for assignment two. Technology has not yet advanced to a point in which technology is a more reliable, expectable and efficient solution to to conducting business than the traditional means; however this technology is only years away and it will completely change the way in which we work and live our lives. Commuting will no longer be a necessity as you will be just as well connected from any other possible place as you would your traditional office. With the introduction of interactive glass screens what can be implemented on any type of surface, will bring new meanings to the way in which we communicating and share information and ideas. 

The result - is a decentralised community. Therefore my assignment proposal will incorporate community within the CBD in which live, work and play is one in the architecture.
