Landscape in risk of f looding, a proposal for the case of Favela of Rio das Pedras in Rio de Janeiro Rio de Janeiro, Brazil supervisor prof.Sara Protasoni, co-supervisor arch.Beatrice DeCarli
This study is a reflection on the phenomenon of informal settlements in Rio de Janeiro and the relationship that exist between the rate of expantion and the conditions of vulnerability and emergency in which this settlement develops. The proposal is articulated through the mapping of informal settlements in relation to the enviromental vulnerability of the city of Rio de Janeiro, studying the concept of transformation of long or short duration that lead to the construction of the residual areas within the territory. Specifically working on the case of Favela of Rio das Pedras, located in the west of the city, the dissertation propose a range of design guidelines and small-scale design interventions that intersect the adaptive transformation of key public spaces within the settlement, with the mitigation of flood risks. Hence the project is working on the possibility of redevelopment torrential tract and construction of embankments through an intervention of landscapes and enviromentsl interest, considering also as part of structuring the socio-economic conditions in which it is operating.

Lucia Maffei via cecconi 17 57126 livorno italy “In other terms [...] we need to strengthen the capacity of the poor to exercise “voice”, to debate, contest, and oppose vital directions for collective social life as they wish, not only because this is virtually a definition of inclusion and participation in any democracy. But there is a stronger reason for the stregthening the capacity for voice among the poor. It is the only way in which the poor might find locally plausible ways to alter what I am calling the terms of recognition in any particular cultural regime.” (Arjun Appadurai,The Capacity to Aspire:cultures and the terms of recognition, Stanford University Press 2004)
