Shopping centres are cathedrals of the 21st century housing our faith as a society; reformation on the city's edge for ecological and social prosperity

Abstract
I started with questioning the shopping centre and the importance of its role in society. Through this questioning which I explored in reading, writing and reacting I began to explore an alternative for the conditions created by the evolution of the Shopping Centre. My thesis intent was to find an alternative civic space between suburbia and the cities edge to work towards a more ecological and socially sustainable future. This searching brought me to, a once important site in Limerick cities history. The Greenpark horse racecourse could once again play an important role, facilitating a Hemp Research Institute on its land accumulating materials, ideas, production and memories for the future.
