RESILIENCE PROJECT ETHAN CRANFIELD OLIVER HYLAND JYE ROUSELL
ABSTRACT
The built environment should serve people effectively and enduringly. A home and a community should therefore offer programmatic, financial, social, and environmental conditions which are resilient to change. Flexibility, communalism, commoning, debt-lessness, and reparation are the key means through which Resilience Project aims to establish such conditions in May field North- East. Through programmatic flexibility, Resilience Project resiliently expands and contracts to changing residents and needs, while the reparation of the site induces change in the existing environmental condition in order to establish future resilience. The civic quality contrived from landscaping and residential connections, in conjunction with common living and working spaces, develop a context which encourages resilient social wellbeing through connectedness. Lastly, to enable fiscal resilience, the financial model of the development mitigates ownership and debt, while proposing an investment model which grows wealth at an equal rate to the capital gains from traditional property ownership.

Final Cost of Development using $150M land value and $3000/m2 for developed works on the site, our final cost of development can be estimated at $377,812,500. Therefore, based on the same metrics as the Sirius Social Housing Boost, Resilient Project is viable for government subsidization.
Eliminating Debt & Growing Wealth Without Ownership Annually, 1800 rent paying residents invest $23.4M. Over 30 years with increasing value, the total pool comes to $4,257,476,144 before being split between evenly between the 1800 members.

Allowing phytoremediating planting to grow naturally and rapidly on the outskirts of the site affects the long term resilience of the project. Although drops in soil contamination levels may not be instantly visable, landscaping with reparation in mind enhances the longevity of the community.
