A1 Summary Poster


In the summary poster I wanted to capture the main elements from the narrative, the aesthetic and the system as a whole. The hero shot in the top left as viewed by the main character of the narrative, was used to grab the attention of the eye upon first glance of the poster.  A brief overview of the criteria was then laid out to further paint the initial picture and give context to both the graphical and architectural elements of the poster. The strong architectural elements such as the natural light in the atriums is made a note of in the long section along with the compact parking which is explained in the story. 

The typical floor plan to the right gives an overview of the layout of the structure and begins to demonstrate the various systems working together such as commercial and residential. The section below identifies three key spaces in the project which are also featured strongly in the storey. These are; the cafe/restaurant street activation to Morris Street and Latrobe Terrace, the communal vegetable and herb garden & the large rooftop function space. 

The two perspectives to the bottom left of the poster are also featured in the narrative. They were chosen as they depict the buzz of activity both externally at the corner of Latrobe Terrace and Warmington Street, and internally showing both horizontal and vertical movement.

The text at the bottom is the definition of Hive mentality linking the entire system present in the design to a particular way of thinking.

Finally the caption "Coming to cities everywhere July 1 2034" implies that the financial situation is wide spread across Australia and possibly beyond. I chose July the first to give a bit of word play linking it to a new financial year.
