C4ii
C4ii
Centre for Illegal Immigration.
Premise:
The very nature of the immigration process for illegal immigrants is indeterminate, the outcome is never quite certain as it is a long, arduous process requiring months or even years of completing forms, conducting interviews and other various forms of bureaucracy. It is an important role to protect both the security of the nation and also to facilitate the legitimate entry to refugees and professionals seeking asylum to contribute positively to Australia's population. A database of information will be compiled in the process involving; background checks, medical examinations, references and other forms of proof of identity and skill to help determine a person’s candidacy for entry into Australia. The process for illegal immigrants is often time consuming and also often requires the services of many consultants. The idea is to streamline the process by introducing a virtual component to the agency whereby officers can expedite the process of migration or rejection by having their digital identity verified and by completing the various entry requirements without the need for paper forms or immigration lawyers in a straight forward universally accessible form.
Scope:
It is thought that this virtual arm of the Department of Immigration and Trade would supplement the existing immigration and customs teams. The C4ii system is proposed to be located within the illegal immigration transport vehicles where an officer will work with a migrant to enable him/her to gain a specific outcome of their processing before they reach the holding facility in order to reduce the impacts on their lives.
Interface:
The proposed interface for such a system would need to be very simple in terms of its user friendliness in the way that ipods and facebook are almost instantly intuitive or very easy to learn how to use. This is important, as many of the users will be from foreign countries that do not speak and or read English very well. Some of this can be accomplished by incorporating multiple modes for different language groups and also through the use of devices such as pictograms and symbols.
Environment:
The environment will be reactive to the honesty of the immigrant and their control checks. It is proposed that a person with reliable documentation and valid health and background checks will progress further than a person with a criminal background.

Concerns:
The obvious worry is the ability to defraud such a system as computers are susceptibility to virus and hacking by cyber criminals. In adding a virtual element it is possible for glitches in the system or various errors in code to over look certain matters or cause users difficulty in obtaining a visa.

REPOST: Futuristic Conceptualized Architecture Buildings with Digital Technology
With the growing development of digital technology was very influential in the development of needs as the architecture to create a design. Here are some architectural design drawings are designed using today’s technology. This building represents a building that are implemented for a future. In 2008 there was a big competition organized by the CG Society. contest is to build a digital architecture building back in 2008, CG Society held a contest that invites digital artists from around the world to present their vision of the most imaginative and most magnificent futuristic them to a new world through architecture and landscape design. Modern Thought and digital technology can create such an exceptional design in surprise. The ideas of architecture and interior is made from the judge threw the chair. Each design and each outstanding architectural building an impressive and diverse with what we usually see every day. More information visit the website click – here.

snakes and ladders
During the crit it came up that a system similar to snakes and ladders could possibly work in my illegal immigration process. Whereby the illegal immigrants can climb or fall on the immigration list depending on if they have the correct paper work, if they have a clean history or how honest they are...

Not meaning to be lighthearted about the immigration process, but another scenario thrown up in the crit was to look at it as a gaming system where if you complete certain tasks you get rewarded and progress up the list over those who dont.

Similarly a for the purpose of this project a series of staircases that progress after checkpoints or return in a neverending staircase fashion could be another avenue

WEEK 9 progress
WEEK 9 power point presentation outlining a loose structure that was put forward to the class
The class provided some vaualble feedback to help me structure my immigration system better and it was discussed that in regards to my project i should possibly look at setting up some perameters to create a solid brief.
