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.
