Over the semester break I've given consideration to what I would like to do in the next project for DAB525. We were given the opportunity to continue working on our current city (mine was Kabul) or start again on the city of Brisbane. Today I emailed Mirko asking to be placed in the Brisbane group since Kabul's infrastructure is severely damaged and provides hardly any interest for me.
The Brisbane City model looks amazing, and I can't wait to get started working on a section! Hopefully I can select somewhere close by or easy to access via public transport so that research the site won't be too time consuming.

| Brisbane City Model |
Over the break I have been considering this new project and the history of the city of Brisbane and how I'll tackle the next research component. Fortunately we have various historical maps available to us on Architecture and the City's BlackBoard site as well as a 1:500 scale model of the entire central area of Brisbane, showing a rough (uncompleted) context of the city and various areas. It is good to see the scale of structures compared to others and how they've influenced the various spaces in the city.
