A City in the Forest:

I really like the above image, and the concept behind it. Mixing urban and agricultural environments could be a good direction to take for this project... Perhaps somehow incorporating the eco-systems within a forest/natural space, with a civilisation, i.e. city. ?

Living City Design.

Just trying to get my head around this brief at the minute.

1. Build a model for the future of civilization
2. Clearly envision the future... Urban Ecosystems.
3. Density, Shading, Urban Agriculture, Transportation, Energy, Water Use.
4. Solid ecological and architectural principals?

• rich street life (pedestrians & public transport).
• green city infrastructure for water and waste.
• net zero energy & water community?
• agriculture imbedded into the community.

I like this example of typography, on http://welovetypography.com/ and I think it ties in well with my own project, the leaves and the earthy autumny colours.

Alive, again.

Sketching- Alive?

My own garden.

Alive?

Although my original thinking had been to create 'alive' for my garden, having photographed Botanic Gardens [previous post], it seems like there wasn't much life about the place. This time of year (Autumn) is my favourite because I think the colours are lovely, however, dead leaves, twigs and flowers do not scream ALIVE to me?! Hmmmm.
