Individual Project 1 Statement (300words)

Researching a future scenario has been quite an exciting project, especially as I began thinking into the way the future may drastically look and how it might relate to our conception to architecture. I have come to the realisation that architectural thinking has a profound influence upon our future sustainability and environs; an initial development into the improvement of how we may live.  As designers/architects we must invariably identify and consider these environmental futuristic reforms and apply these notions when working in a project. I have learnt that determining future scenarios is of great significance in the field of architecture, laying the foundation to an exciting yet challenging, new conception towards an architectural design approach.

Although this project has strongly focussed on how architecture is based on the influence of future sustainability, it has given a deeper understanding to the authenticity and true needs of society. Over the past couple of weeks I’ve come to realise that the dynamics of moral and political aspects of human life can put constraints to the development of new architectural ideals.  From here, it is apparent how far we are from achieving sustainability and political reforms, nonetheless, I believe there is a possibility that society as a whole can unite, in a homogeneous world and progressively improve towards a sustainable future. The complexities of all issues will not be completely solved however we can improve in our way of living to benefit the future generations. 

Interestingly, this project has exemplified insights into the complexities of architecture, how it might interweave with the moral and political aspects of human life and how it impacts the sustainability of the future.  Project 01 has taught me valuable notions in what to consider when starting a new project and has opened a new context that revaluates architectural approach.  Through imaginative creativity we can anticipate futuristic designs which resonate into new dimensions to architectural approach.
