research.

Whilst doing research for our issues, I came across a few interesting clips. They are both to do with refugees, the first is about refugees who work on construction sites, and the second on squatter cities. Australia has many refugees, or many who try to come in, however due to our horrible laws, the authorities throw them into refugee camps/prisons, in the middle of no where. So I believe these clips are relevant to this issue, as it seems that the majority of the time, refugees are forgotten or silenced

The last clip I found was on Responsive Architecture. Similar to the concept of Mangus Larsson, Rachel Armstrong states that we need to outgrow architecture made of inert materials and, make architecture that grows itself.
