An interesting talk I listened to which is the confluence of demographic specific architecture, sustainable issues and community.

In his speech, Bjarke Ingels discusses that it is possible to educate the world's privileged consumers and at the same time bring them together on the community level (Paddington lacks!).
I think the idea of 'Hedonistic Sustainability' - while unapologetic, does possess truth, particularly to the Paddington demographic. The typical Paddington resident has a large disposable income and is educated and aware of global issues like sustainability and consumption, yet does nothing to address this - due to the convenience of central centres such as Paddington Central.
