Architectural Fiction # 2 'Flexible function space'

This Architectural fiction was contributed to by 7 students.

Julia Gillard has just been voted out of government and the new party needs a new hall for functions and dinner parties...
In light of current global financial situations new buildings are too expensive, so a temporary, flexible pavillion is commissioned.  Using only very basic and demountable materials (timber, cardboard, recycled metals & plastic) a structure is created that is anle to serve multiple purposes, including...
Temporary diasaster shelter, celebrations and community days where polititions and community gathers to discuss relevant issues and brainstorm possible solutions...
The building has a huge success at first, however, over itme the polititions become quite comfortable and were the main controller of the use of teh space and its flexibility was sacrificed...
The control of the building was handed back to the public, upgrades to the building were commissioned due to the diversity of the public needs.  These upgrades included...
Improved facilities incorporating the latest in communications technologies, expanded spaces constructed through a 'clip-on' system, allowing components to be detatched and distributed when needed...
These clip on systems can be used in a variety of configurations, from public temporary housing, to an
open arena, to a flexible performance space...
