As we further discussed the WHAT IF scenario of World War 3, we quickly realised that designing anything in a war, regardless of whether it be in a virtual world, the entire design will continually be shifted back to designing for the safety of those in side. Continually researching at how to keep a tank missile from going through you front door.
We still loved the idea of spreading the capital City over Australia. So...
What if parliament was to include a system to hear the voice of the people virtually?... How would such a system work effectively for Australia?
We began to think...
Although creating a virtual space, in which a computer generated tool will be used, there needs to be bounds in which this tool is to be used. There still needs to be the architecture in which this tool is to be bound. This tool of direct democracy will need to be housed, these new pieces of infrastructure will be adding to the existing parliament house. The government identity of parliament house will be portrayed in each and every city / town in which the new infrastructure is added.
Parliament House as it stands projects beauty, power, elegance, modest wealth, and huge amounts of leadership. Do we want to replicate what is projected in the current parliament house in each piece of Infrastructure provided for this virtual direct democracy? Should it be toned down to a lesser degree? What would the people in each of the towns want? Are we trying to replicate the infrastructure, or should be designing from new, as the new style of government begins, should a new style of architecture for parliament begin with it.
We want all voices heard from the entire of Australia. A direct democracy will enable each and every person to have the political power in which Julia Gillard (as our current Prime Minister) currently has. By providing the infrastructure to house virtual Parliamentary Houses, over the country, this will become possible.
