So Far.......

My Research thus far has mainly been internet based, although i have visited elephant & castle numerous times, looking at the surrounding areas also will need to be done.

This is an area that has a diverse cultural and historical context will london. An area that i originally had little knowledge of other than that's where 'Ministry of sound' is and the 'Heygate' estate.

A concept that can bring communities together, new architecture mixed into old spaces with social design that brings together the cultures and communities that inhabit the area.

A major emphasis of my research has looked into housing, the problems and issues caused.

This has led me to look further into master-planning an area, which i have become increasingly interested in, how this has changed through history, whats wrong with the current masterplans in place and also key points that are good about them. Can a building bring back a sense of community to an area, also people's effects on buildings and space.

Metamorphosis within the area - changing what was before to something new, how can a new system bring back a sense of place.

My Revised Research Strategy:
