1. The urban design
Urban diagrams In the urban project developed as a group, we propose a series of individual buildings, each in a dialogue with eachother in order to encourage the interaction between the different age classes in the area (elders, children,...) The “dialogue� between buildings takes place through the creation of a sequence of public spaces (gardens, squares, network of protected pedestrian paths. As shown in the various diagrams, most of the welfare infrastrucutre is maintained
