Week Thirteen : Architectural Entity Context

Through established avenues of communication Paddington Exchange is not only an attempt to nurture action and engagement at the scale of merely Paddington it is further intended to fit within a broader network of collaborative initiatives. In this sense not only is the entity permeable to the rich diversity of Paddington but through a process of mutual transaction and enrichment; via transient vendors, open invitation and a transparent offering; it contributes to both regional and national amenity. Multiple hubs of a similar nature would generate networks of activity within the subculutral regions of Brisbane, and function to both stimulate the everyday and spark innovation. These nodes form communities of practise and through varied means transact both physically, socially, culturally and economically with one another through open events, open forms of intellectual property, shared ideas, resources and dialogue. Collectively they feed back to a Brisbane City Terminal through both artists and thinkers in residence which act on behalf of the needs of their citizens to collaborate with the Brisbane centre. The below diagram illustrates more thinking more explicitly.
