I find it very weird that a video such as this would win an architectural award. I have seen a few of the other entrants and they included 'architecture' in their presentations. This didn't really seem to apart from the architectural background in the film. Obviously these were designed but I would have thought it would have to be a piece of architecture with all of the details
your role as an architect is to design an architectural entity that provides critical scenes and successfully demonstrated that it responds well to your future scenario. You will present your proposal as architectural fiction.

Urban theme. What if BBC decided to introduce London style congestion charge to the CBD in 2020 to heavily reduce traffic congestion in the area? - Congestion charging (London 2003)

Regional. What if Woodford folk festival site were to become a self sufficient community that was to be managed and operated self sufficiently.
Virtual. What if QLD governments key strategy was to resolve urban, suburban and regional issues virtually?
