Thinking internally, the spaces I want to provide to by building are diverse - I want to provide the people working in this building numerous opportunities to interact with each other, and with the general public, who will remain informed and involved in Brisbane's decision making process.
As a rough start, I want there to be an innovation space where people can pitch their ideas, or be inspired by what is happening to their city - rather like TedTalks. Social spaces, like cafes, will also be in abundance so that people can relax and chat and let their creativity run wild through chance discussions.
'Beta spaces' will also be provided, where people can physically interact with proposals pertaining to the future of their city. They are also given the opportunity to vote and have their opinions heard on these proposals, so that their city is moulded into a place they would like to live in.
Providing ample space for employees to socialise is also important, such as large and exciting food areas. In a previous post I investigated the importance of the lunch room, information I definitely intend to implement in my design.
The break down of the building will end up something like this ^ with most of the building's programming taken up by flexible office space (see previous post on how that will work out), while lower levels are devoted to socialising and innovation. I would also like to turn the upper floor into an observation deck, where people can gain a 360 degree view of the city, with touch screens that you can interact with and see future proposals displayed in real-time; when you point towards a certain building/suburb, the screen can inform you of the proposals in place for that area.
