BRIEF_preliminary


The Committee Room expansion is based on gaining for public interaction and involvement.  The existing Committee Rooms on Level 1 and 2 are currently off limits to the public so I intend on designing an expansion of the Committee Rooms for the public. 

I propose to do this at the entrance of the Parliament House, however the rooms etc will be developed underground, allowing for the continuation of flexible spaces in the foyer and entrance areas – meeting and relaxing spaces. 

The underground Committee Room expansion will involve one Committee Room for each chamber – House of Representatives and the Senate Chamber, in which each will expand and contract to the amount of public visiting and exhibiting.  Also underground will be a café/ eatery, toilet facilities, staff office/s, technician rooms, and Parliamentary display rooms and galleries.  It will basically be a small public hub for the interaction with the committee rooms and meetings, as well other public members. 

The live Committee Meeting will be streamed to each of the expanding and contracting rooms and allow public interaction by being able to ask questions to the Committee Members while the session question times.  The rooms will expand or contract to necessary needs before the meetings are in order, and will be done in relation to the response from the public of to whom wis participating, either from home or physically submitting your requests.  The public will also be able to voice their concerns by requesting their ideas and issues to the Committee Members.  All this will all be controlled by a central control system, controlling the live streams, interaction between the public and the Committee Member and the room size requirement.  The staff will run the other public rooms – café, toilets, galleries and display rooms etc.
