The Centre and the Infrastructure Required.

As discussed before, our architectural solution would be a space that all members of the public would be able to access to share their ideas, thoughts and issues to those people in parliament that would be in a position best to deal with their concerns. While people can talk to their political representatives, there is an issue on whether they can listen to everyone (or even bother to listen to anyone at all) and even if they did, what then could they do. They would be required to bring up these innumerable amount of suggestions to each council, board, minister and other such groups, which prevent them from doing their original jobs. So our team researched and discussed what the current hierarchy of communication is, and what is needed to give the public direct access to the people or groups in parliament that they wanted to speak too.

Giving the public direct access to the ministers and their councils will stop the local representatives from being swamped with issues that they had no power or knowledge to deal with. This new centre would take and process all these claims to be given to the appropriate body. However they would also un-baisedly act as a stop-gap, trimming and removing the inappropriate, ignorant and other unnecessary opinions from the collection to prevent clogging the offices of the ministers.

The infrastructure required to prove every member of the public easy access to these centres would be massive to build from scratch so any and all pre-existing infrastructure must be utilised.

One centre will be given to each community. In high density areas, a stationary structure is the easiest form of the centre. It will be constructed in lots or empty buildings. This form will work until the community is too wide spread to easily access a single location on the larger land or a stationary structure isn't sustainable because of the cost compared to the lower population accessing it. In these rural areas a mobile solution is better. A travelling centre can access multiple locations and communities too equal the public exposure of a high density centre. There are two viable options to transport the centre, if the community is near a river or dock then boats can be used and for the other areas, roads are the only option. For the road accessed rural areas, the truck carrying the centre can visit the town at the same time as any needed resources are transported in, to use the same trucks and reduce fuel consumption. The truck could then take locally exported goods from these communities to trade with the next area the centre travels too, giving the centre multiple roles.
