INTEGRATION: URBAN HOUSING & URBAN BUILDING – BUILDING STRONGER COMMUNITIES.
A journey of integration, from micro to macro, all aspects were covered. Focusing on one district allowed me to delve deep into not only the social history but further present day, and most importantly demographic data- this being Dennistoun. All of which proved to be a necessity when designing spaces of adequate social integration as well as considering multigenerational use. Both Urban Housing and Urban Building share a number of similarities, and both continuously consider their immediate context, doing so allowed me to design spaces that would knit in nicely with the existing Dennistoun area, incorporating things the area lacked or just purely amenities it would benefit from.
