[12] Individual Project One Statement

Our final ideas towards this assignment have finally come together and worked in conjunction with our future visions. By searching the issues of today which we are currently faced with is the only solution to how we can fix the issues of tomorrow. After doing a lot of research on today's issues we were able to provide fixes in a multi-use architectural solution.

The whole idea of multi-use is to provide smaller community areas rather than just having one large one in the Brisbane CBD which means everyone in Brisbane has to travel into this one area, creating congestion. With the different nodes already developing in approximately 5 areas in Brisbane including Mt Gravatt, Carindale, Chermside, Indroopilly and Mitchelton the Brisbane City Council needs to develop planning guidelines in these areas which push for design solutions which can meet this idea of multi-use in a high rise piece of architecture.

Our transport vision for 2050 is to have no cars enter the current Brisbane CBD area. To achieve this goal we have proposed some new modes of transport for commuters. We have introduced a high speed rail line which connects Brisbane with the Noosa and as far as Tweed Heads. In and around the CBD light rail will be used to jump on and jump off to reach your final destination.

Overall developing  steps leading up to the year 2050 should be interesting. If by 2020 the light rail system is implemented through the CBD, 2030 high speed rail is implemented (stage 1 tweed heads to CBD) 2040 (stage 2 noosa to CBD), 2050 cars are no longer allowed to enter the Central Business District. Throughout all the stages development will continue to grow and change ultimately creating multi-use facilities for commercial, retail, residential and educational living.
