DAB810: the place to be..: POST- PRESENTATION REFLECTION:

Looking back at my panels now, I am reasonably happy with the overall outcome. I am quite happy with the mini storyboard I created using SAM as an example user that used the whole design from start to finish. SAM started on the light rail, then got off at to the station, and then went to the pavilion. This created imagery that allowed the entity to come together and gain a view from the user perspective. I wasn't so happy however with the context example of using the CIVIC as different site with a different use. I created a scenario where the pavilion was used for an art exhibition, but maybe I could have done some kind of photo montage of this site to show how it would actually fit into this site. This flexibility of the design and how it travels around Canberra is a main attribute to the design so in looking back, I should have tried to present this better. Today I tried to attempt this is a more realistic way. The following are some images of the civic position and the pavilion in that location being used as a political forum, as well as an art exhibition:

Looking back, i'm also not sure that I thoroughly explained some of the parts to my design like the user-moveable seating, the moveable stage and the moveable stairs. The moveable seating are item of furniture which are on wheels and in different forms so the user can change it to suit the requirements- like if there was a large group of friends they could join some together to make a big lounge. The moveable stage means that the stage is really 4 seperate parts on wheels which can be joined together for a big performance or meeting, or broken up as seperate platforms around the pavilion for an exhibition or market type scenario. The moveable stairs are plywood platforms which sit on top of each other to connect the ground to the floor of the exhibition and can be arranged as necessary depending on the site. Here are some diagrams and perspectives to show how these work:
