Week Five : Further Research Architectural Possibility

As to progress further we again looked to expand upon our individual investigations into an aspect of this imagined architecture. Following my initial approach to co-creation, this week I sought to take it to the world. I sought abstractions of the movement as a way to try and push the boundaries of my own imagination.

Considering that mankind is now more connected with the tools to engage millions and more potential than ever to build a brighter future. It's no wonder that seeds of this concept are beginning to flourish. I found one paragraph from Feast on Good particularly poignant;

"A small step in a new direction leads to another and your steps change the path of those around you and when 'social change' change people the impact turns ripples into waves".

I think that this defines what, about co-creation could be so powerful and so very successful. It's the empowerment of the everyday citizen. It is the possibility of re-imagine how ideas are generated, goods are exchanged and living is created and it is a change I believe the world not only needs but will follow. To borrow the below advertisement, although not related to the practise of co-creation I believe it demonstrates what our future scenario, our sustainable future and are architectural opportunities are trying to achieve.

Follow its link. See for yourself. The Uniiverse is actually a virtual platform for the collaborative lifestyle. So it essentially already exists. Maybe then our future scenario is already growing. Maybe it just needs a home. Maybe that home is Paddington and maybe its manifestation will be Paddington Central. Nonetheless in terms of a succinct outcome for co-creation the below snippet is something I believe provides just but a taste of what may emerge as I progress on.
