Question#1 Some people might think that abandoned, “ghetto” sites have become useless, uninspiring, invaluable and should be demolished to create a building in which people could inhabit or use with a purpose. Although, that is not always the situation, some places could be transformed into a building that is advantageous to all. To support this, it clearly states in Source#2 that “Through government partnerships, public art can also transform dull or run-down public spaces and inspire the people who live and work there.

In addition, the choice of using a realistic, three-dimensional texture for the bricks instead of using a flat pattern without texture made the bricks seem legitimate and not simply painted on. Furthermore, the use of graffiti on the walls of the bricks increased the feeling of an urban alley.

The above slogan is an example of English-language graffiti located on a residential property in Hackney, London (for ease of reference, the image is attached below). Unlike gang graffiti used to mark territory or gain notoriety, the slogan employs multimodal features to express a political point about Hackney's 'fast gentrified development' (E8Plus Hackney, 2017). Written in capital letters with black and red font, the text is a stencilled copy of a traditional London borough street sign. Visually, the contrast of colours and font attract attention, and serve as semiotic signs embedded with underlying meaning. Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy, gentrification in London remains a controversial practise that Jeremy Corbyn calls; “social cleansing” (Corbyn (2017), cited in Bean, 2017).

A suburb’s Culture of Place is expressed in its architecture, streetscape, heritage architecture, noise, colour, street life, energy, vitality and lifestyle. Pre-urban renewal, Pyrmont’s culture of place was highly reflective around its low-income blue-collar workers and primary and secondary industries. As the blue-collar workers moved out of the inner-city areas with the decentralisation of industry, Pyrmont’s culture of place directly correlated with its devastating urban decay, such as abandoned and vandalised buildings, boarded-up shops, unused port and transport infrastructure, and overgrown, rubble strewn lots where factories had been bulldozed. Following Pyrmont’s urban renewal, the culture of place has been significantly transformed and is now characterized by its heritage and gentrified architecture, lively streetscape with cafes and restaurants, vibrant colours, and very relaxed and cultured lifestyle. The suburb is scattered with green, open public space, which makes Pyrmont a somewhat green suburb.
