Design Charette 3 - People & Lifestyles

The week four, design charette 3, saw us investigating the people and lifestyles we envisage in our future scenario. For this task our group created 2 characters which we could plot a life for.

Character 1: Sasha

- With the ruralisation of Australia, social networking and events become more prominent and regular to allow former urban occupants to maintain their social and cultural lifestyle.

- Sasha envisages running her own festival in the near future and enrolls into the event management course at Woodfordia

- Woodfordia college allows Sasha to maintain her sustainable lifestyle while learn from and contribute to the success of Woodford folk festival.


Character 2: James

- middle aged family man with a high paying corporate job

- due to technology advances his work offers him the option to work from home (aspatial everywhere)

- this presents the opportunity for him and his family to live the idyllic rural lifestyle (urban form and location)

- cheap vacant mine sites entices the family to move rural.

- however, a lack of knowledge of the land prompts James to undertake some further education in land management and revitalization, an area Woodford has received many accolades for.
