Where we're at.

So we have rehashed our DLF ideas into something new, here's where I think we're at at the moment.

Tenzin has written a future scene where there is a technology overload in the world. We want to name Wellington 'The Physical Capital of the World', and look at solving the increasing detachment between people and people and people and their environment, without abandoning the digital network that will exist.
Utilising new technologies we will look closer at the networks within Wellington and create solutions that address the need for enhanced sensory experiences. We will focus on the 5 senses; touch, taste, smell, hearing and seeing.

For instance, in my previous post there is a link about smart materials, one of which being a metal that takes one solid shape, and changes to another at a certain temperature. A solution to the detachment between people and their environment/the weather/the outdoors could be to use this metal to construct walkways or buildings that had open sides or ceilings during hot weather but during colder temperatures the metal changes to cover over these areas.
