Abstract
The basis for this dissertation is to seek and develop a sustainable model that will
encourage social sectors to thrive and be re-energised into sustainable, selfsufficient
entities. It will explore the role architecture plays in creating resilient
societies as well as how, through positive interventions, architects can become
re-generative catalysts to provide stability, security, healthy environments and
overall well-being. The aim is to design a catalytic educational development
in an under-developed area to test how when planning holistically, Architects
and their architecture, can inject growth and development in challenged social
environments. Using Resilience as a focal lens, ideas of Place Making, Education
and Society, encapsulated in Economy, this dissertation will demonstrate how
a positive intervention can ultimately lead to a homogeneous resilient place
and society.
