Yasu played a short video for us today in the lecture, on the Greenland Migration project by Henning Larsen Architects. Although this project was in a different climate and remote location, it acted as a subtle form of inspiration 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 building which is mutlipurposeful in its functions, whether permanent or adaptable, will help to activate the paddington central site by attracting a range of users to the space. It seems that it would have to have some form of flexibility in its form/function so as to develop overtime with the culture of the current community.
