In response to the pragmatic and unimaginative strategies currently applied to social housing estates, particularly in London, this project explores folklore, religious beliefs and fiction. By using fiction to approach social housing in a positive and lateral way, it uncovers a different discourse that encompasses favourable living conditions, emotional intelligence, cultural understanding and personal narratives. The research process involved the creation of a storybook and animation that incorporate elements of magical realism, bridging the new and old Achilles Estate with the diverse traditional cultural folklores of its residents.
