Description

The butterfly effect means a small natural force may produce a cumulatively large effect over a period of time (HarperCollins, n.d.). This project aims to accumulate multiple subtle changes in a recently developed public housing estate so as to reintroduce life and energy back to the residence. The key to the vitality of public housing in the 80s to 90s is due to a special configuration of different elements, leading to the opportunity in creating various activities and narratives. It is known from cinematographic analysis did which people, action and the environment were studied. The application of these studied narratives to the site were used as a test to show the importance of these elements in creating a vibrant community.
