Reopen old essex street market

We have the new modern fancy one and that’s cool but the old one takes up a whole block and has good history and would be unique and everyone loves nostalgia rn and it would be like “are you Jets or Sharks?” but it’s just multi-use building allegiances so the stakes are low.

this transformation of social housing by lacaton & vassal

as ur local architect i could give 100 answers to this ask. but here is a social housing project i really love. the most sustainable building is one that already exists, building anything new is inherently bad for the environment (buildings make up 40% of global emissions!). rather than propose an entirely new building for this public housing project, lacaton & vassal proposed essentially renovating the existing and extending the building outward in the front by adding a layer of these kinda indoor/outdoor living spaces. i love this as a low cost solution that not only raises the economic value of these apartments but also is an incredibly valuable space for the well being of the tenants. pic of the diagram showing before and after but def encourage taking a look at the pics in the link!

Being useful >> being happy

i sense the most reliable path to true contentment and fulfilment in this life may be found by focusing not on ‘what will make me happy’ but on ‘how can I be useful to those I love and my community’.... the two are by no means mutually exclusive and i believe the first can only ever be found through the second.
