Week Seven: Lecture Reflection



Yasu showed us a short video on the Greenland Migration project by Henning Larsen Architects. Although this project was in a different climate and remote location, it was very inspirational for my project. The architects' propose "a series of programs that functionally and politically inspire migration to Greenland". The series of programs have been masterplanned to create “interconnectedness” within the community. These projects were planned successfully to integrate multiple functions, and work to bring the community together in a cohesive way. Multi-functional buildings are sustainable socially, by bringing an assortment of people to the one area to interact in a variety of ways. They are also physically sustainable as their multi-purposeful spaces and flexible nature allows them to stay relevant in society over time.

A multi-functional development would activate the myer centre site by attracting a variety of people to the site. This development would have to be flexible and able to be transformed over time, as well as serve a variety of purposes in its current state.
