Week 7 Research

This week I have been too focused on the Pecha to do much research into the ideas of the HCI, I did find a more ‘interesting’ explanation of the subject however: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/human-computer-interaction that explains the design field quite well. I also briefly looked into the interactions of the HCI field and the UX (User Experience field, and how new technologies such as VR are being influenced by our understanding human interface interaction.

I have researched more into the Megastructure topic of my Pecha Kucha and found an interesting design known as X-Seed 4000. The largest fully designed building in history that would stand at 4000 meters tall and house between half a million o a million people in a vertical city.

Unfortunately the only picture I could find that compared it to modern buildings was on Wikipedia commons (Hard to find images of something that doesn’t exist yet). The building was designed by the Taisei Construction Corporation as a sustainable city and could one day be built it the funds were ever raised. Other designs I also came across is a floating city that is a kilometer long and would house 50,000 people, called the Freedom Ship. The building company is looking for investments according to some sources as it cannot be built on a dry-dock, due to its immense size.
