This week I wanted to explore possible solutions to the problems of cultural erosion, gentrification and housing affordability. A singular development in Paddington is clearly not a smoking gun solution to these issues however it can act as an exemplary manifestation of the ideas of community, diversity and cultural heritage.
Before forming architectural ideas I wanted to research the developers themselves as these are the people who are envisioning and building suburban shopping centers throughout Australia. Westfield's latest development at Carindale was an interesting case study for analyzing retail centre trends and the kinds of spaces that respond to contemporary communities.
