A very interesting documentary, really opens up your eyes to the fact that there are so many meanings behind the word,'Utopia'.
For my final major project I'm looking into the expansive meaning behind two words, 'Socialism' and 'Utopia', and I think this documentary really helped me think what route to go down, and I feel it has to be with the variation of social classes and the hierarchy that still lives on to this day and everywhere in the world.
Here's a link to see the trailer:

Anish Kapoor
Anish Kapoor
I think this man is a genius, the things he does that is so simple yet so powerful. The reason why I like this guy's work is because he produces physical sculptures but yet are so visually clever, you can feel a certain emotion connecting you to his work. I've been looking at his work to come up with some inspiration.
Below I will post some of his work and a link to his website also so that you can see articles wrote about him, watch videos and etc.

Future City
London City Farmhouse
Yet again I have used Deezen.com as another source to gain some inspiration for my ideas for my final major project, I'm still liking the whole future sustainability city concept.
Another graduates work, this time she's from The Bartlett, I'm impressed with your ideology of a big London City Farmhouse, very clever, self efficient and helping with developments of local produce and to be more green efficient.
Definitely food for thought there, here's a link down below if you want to read more about Caterina's future city.

Everyone should check out this guys work for inspiration, he is a genius.
I really like the fact that he is always experimenting with fabrics, it's such a delicate material to use to create a final piece for an exhibition.
Down below I have attached a link to his video, he talks about his installation that was at the Tate Modern in 2011.
I am thinking of doing an installation, however don't know whether to do it digital, or physical (by using materials) or perhaps a combinations of both.

Green Engineering
Green Engineering
Green engineering is something that isn't really big here in the UK. The whole harvest and grow your own food is something that has developed a lot in recent years, and shall keep progressing if people keep raising the advantages of growing your own, but there isn't much in the way of marketing out there for the building sector of green engineering, if there is it’s very slow and really behind the other countries. In terms of green engineering mechanically; reducing low emissions and pollution we’re at an advance stage in the industry, for example look at how many cyclists there are now in and around London, the Boris bikes are great fun, not just for tourists but for people visiting London, and it gives a different perspective of the city, however there needs to be more across the country, furthermore look how many more hybrid cars are now in the city, we’re slowly cutting emissions as a nation, which for the economy is very bright, and for the long term future will set an example to other nations to follow.
Nevertheless there’s always a sense of playing catch up to other nations in regards to green engineering in the building franchise, perhaps the architecture society in Britain doesn't think there’s a need for it here, perhaps the more acclimatized countries use it the most because of their weather and use it to their advantage to seek various ways for low cost effective builds and be ahead of the green engineering era. If the architecture society thinks that there’s no need for it here then they are wrong, gradually over the past 10 years houses are now acquitting themselves with solar panels, double/triple glazing windows, which in all accounts is a great thing because they realize the power of the weather here, for sunlight we’re not known as the sunniest of all places, but the power of the solar panel helps massively to cut down our bills, because for them 1-2 weeks of sunlight in the summer we can store enough hot water and heating for the whole of the winter, and having double/triple glazed windows surely counts for the cost of not needing to turn your heating on because of the warm insulation that the windows help keep inside the house. So in theory the warm water you have stored to keep for the heating can be now used for washing the dishes, washing clothes, have the luxury of having 2-3 showers a day, surely adding these resources to your home is a good thing?
A new advanced way of living in the new Eco-friendly era is the need of a green roof, I've slowly noticed a few houses across Britain starting to adapt to the new idea of this clever green engineering faze. This is more of a future resource that we should take into consideration, (to have a green roof put in), it’s slightly pricey than a normal slated roof, but you will reap the benefits hugely, it’s far more efficient and yet again another resource to keep your house well insulated, and the best thing you don’t need to call out the roofer to clean your tiles, or replace the broken ones, depending if you use artificial grass the only maintenance you will need to do is to cut the grass. Now there’s one experience that will live long in the memory, imagine the view from your rooftop.
We have come a long way in the terms of keeping Britain green, but there needs to be more awareness raised in the building franchise especially because they are the ones suffering and families are missing out on low cost effective bills. Green engineering is a great investment, and a great solid foundation to start off for your future.

London Future City
Water City
I was going through some of my old University work I produced 5 years ago, and low and behold I found our group's project work and it was about re-imagining the possibility of living in a sustainable way but on the River Thames, it was a project to do with Green Engineering.
Maybe this is a sign that I should look into doing more research into re-imagining a new way of sustainable life in London or even so re-create the Park underground, I should perhaps find and pick a location that needs re-developing for either both ideologies or just one of them.
Have a look at see what you think of the idea?
