The psychological effect that change can have on ones life comes down to how they react to it. At this time and at this moment, I am that individual. As mentioned in a previous blog post '2010 Resolution - 1024 x 768', Designtail will be getting a much needed face lift.
Now, Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will this architectural medium differ. With a little more attention on my behalf, I hope to have achieve more regular blog updates which will see 'TED Talk Tuesday' and 'Photo Friday' becoming featured posts each week. So with this in mind and many more 'projects' down the track, I am pleased to announce that in my new blog is up and running!
Since before time, lifeforms on Earth have through necessity evolved to survive and meet the harsh requirements set down by their current environment. It was not simply a battle of the fittest, strongest or even smartest, but one of metamorphosis and adaptation.
With the growing commercialisation of, and consumer's acceptance towards technology and sustainability, we are increasingly adapting and fusing environmentally sustainable principals and techniques into products and electronic gadgets that are now integrated within everyday households. More users are utilising online shopping, social networking sites, apps etc; our attitude towards the digital age gains speed each day. The implementation of such technology into our buildings generates user friendly, interactive experiences allowing us to navigate to, around and through them, leading to the absorption of information from the inhabitants themselves.
Artificially intelligent buildings will allow Earth to be a living industrialised Pandora-esque world where we plug ourselves into the built environment via USB ports. Questioning our position win this new augmented reality: Are the buildings part of our environment or are we part of theirs?
I'm a 25 year old Newcastle (Australia) graduate that is currently living in Sydney with my lovely and supportive partner Lyndal.
As a child my interests in drawing and how things worked engrossed my studies at school. I have spent most of my life not knowing what I wanted to achieve and how society could benefit from my existence.
I am currently studying a Master of Design (Digital Media) at Raffles College of Design and Commerce and graduated B. Design (Architecture) at the University of Newcastle in 2007. I have been privileged to be working in an architecture office since, establishing a foundation for my design career ahead.
