REALISM

The lecture 'pure war' was based around simulations which have been used overtime worldwide, 'a mutated form of war that exists in a pure state of permanent preparation for and anticipation of actual warfare.' PAUL VIRILIO. These simulations were aimed to have three major outcomes:

1. INFORMATION PROCESSING

2. DECISION MAKING

3. PROBLEM SOLVING

The 'realism' of these simulations relate to my documentation of TOWN HALL station as I'm basically creating a simulation of one of Sydney's major train stations which ultimately could be used as a simulation for special event. The methods I take to document TOWN HALL station will determine how realistic my simulation of TOWN HALL will be.

HOW TO CREATE A REALISTIC ENVIRONMENT.
measuring TOWN HALL STATION sounds like a challenging task but one i'm looking forward to. It's going to be a challenge after the events of what happened roughly eight years ago and the strict rules places such as TOWN HALL STATION have to prevent another terrorist attack happening.

an convenient method of taking measurements of TOWN HALL without looking too obvious such as using a tape measure and a trundle wheel, is by taking photos and using the dimensions of a person's height to estimate a measurement. Another way of recording the geometry of TOWN HALL STATION such as the length of the station is by simply counting the amount of strides it takes from one point to another, even though this will only give us a rough measurement, we can use it as a reference guide.

the materiality, light and interaction of TOWN HALL STATION can all be recorded with observations and writing down notes.
materiality and light can also be recorded by the aid of a camera and can be researched from current photos of the station which should show the materials used and the amount of light that eneters the station. The interaction of TOWN HALL STATION could be researched online for studies and flow charts of pedestrian movements throughout different parts of the day.
