This is a video about the reactable to give you an idea of what I mean

potential ideas

Idea one: 'band on the streets' fundamentally a band loaded into a truck, and it drives around to places with lots of people and plays a 'flash gig' of about two songs, then leaves. and does it somewhere else.

Idea two: 'interactive dance floor' a dance floor, which acts similarly to the reactable, in that people dance upon it, and each step makes a note, this note is determined by the size and shape of the shoes the person is wearing, and people could have shoes with shapes on the soles, to create different instruments, and as more people dance, the music gets more complicated.

*another variation a person controls what points n the dance-floor produce which sounds, in a sense conducting the music that s produced.

Idea three: a flash Choir, possibly singing massive works in big spacious places like train stations etc. ( this idea doesn't really have much scope for intricacy, but could still be fun)

decision

I've decided to drop my idea of the housing project, as i've been having some deiscussions with people, as well as doing some research, and I realise that a major problem with my idea is that it will start ghettoisation, even with the close services. what this reveals is a flaw in my thinking, i forgot that you cannot force improvement or change on anyone. This is fundamentally what my idea was trying to do.

Now to come up with another pitch idea...

foyer plan

Public transport solution.

A problem with public transport is the safty on the platforms. a solution to this is putting a rail across the platfor, with automated sliding doors for the doors of the train.

target audiance for pitch.

my audience is 50-60 year old civil servants in charge of housing and the running of cities/ societies.
Persona
name Peter sex: male
Age: 55
Job: Peter is a senior public housing official and or politician, who looks after current estates and is part of the team who plans them. What is peter thinking: peter has been in the same job, dealing with the lower class of people for quite a while, and thus is a little jaded. he would like to see improvement, but has little faith.

Peter talks about: peter talks alot about money, both how much he has, and how much his department needs to spend, his days are spent dealing with spenditure and revenue. Thus he is talking about how he can increase the effectiveness of his spenditure, thus increasing the amount of things he can spend on. On a personal level he talks about international and local politics, his leisure activities such as golf and classical music. he is concerned with the welfare of his children, possibly is either proud of what they are doing, or irritated by it, possibly they ask for too much money.

Peter's leisure activities. Peter plays golf, goes out to expensive restaurants.

Peter hears: a lot of classical music, and talk back radio. The reward that my pitch presents to

Peter is that it is an effective use of budget, thus freeing up more of the budget allotted to his department. Consequently he is seen to be doing a better job.

Neophix out

Pitch Idea: Houseing aparetements for the city, for those that need it. (note that this is a work in progress, thus has faults, and needs to be perfected)

The idea is to have apartement buildings desinged as community houseing.
The inspiration for this idea is that there is great public complaint about the care taken of convicts, when there is not enough care takken of the aged citizens and poor of the nation.
These apartement buildings will be cituated near the CBD, within 20 minuets public transport travel. They will be strictly regulated apartements, designed in such a way that encourages those that are living in them to set up a system that supports themselves.
Saftey buttons.

Problem’s faced by this idea: Pitch Idea: Houseing aparetements for the city, for those that need it.

Problem’s faced by this idea: ghettoisation, ie the building would turn into a slum, and become a problem area.

the way this problem could be addressed is that the boittom floor of the building could be a complex in which there is employment agencies and counceling facilities etc, so that the people could be advised and dicouraged from stagnating.

any suggestions?
