IMAGINE A FAVELA UNDERSTOOD HISTORICALLY AS A SYSTEM
Never before has it been more significant to talk about housing and its relation with the city. The house serves not simply as one of the millions of components of whole urban spaces, but also comprises many other systems, as well as functioning in multifaceted ways as a system itself. In transportation planning, for example, the location and characteristics of residences give information about the origination of peoples’ movement: housing, also in this case, becomes a very important component of the transportation system.
The same can be said for the myriad of systems, both natural and cultural, which housing influences, or is influenced by. My intent, however, is not to discuss how the housing system participates within other subsystems but rather how housing is a system itself, a system that most in-and-of-itself influences and shapes the city. Numerous cities around the world have experienced the phenomena of rapid and extreme urbanization. For example, at the beginning of the XX century 12% of the population of Brazil lived in cities and went to and increased to more than 80% in less than one century. In order to absorb this drastic population increase in the city - without any public interventions and equal economic distribution - the housing system had to readapt itself, increasing its complexity. Those who arrived with no financial or social support generated new rules to be incorporated into the existing housing system. Brazilian cities now are a consequence of this continuous differentiation. The favela is also a materialization of this process. Its unique pattern functions not just as a component system within the larger urban network, but has its own systems an adaptive variation profoundly related with the so-called legal city. In other words, these two patterns, formal and informal, regular and irregular are part of the same unequal urban equation. Thus, whatever exploration of an aspect of this system it needs to be done from its roots, otherwise it will not be incorporated and will be just an isolated intervention.

>> Too Heavy – separated both fabric layers >> Line on top X Curve on bottom >> Big holes in the net >> Takes longer too get dry – more manipulation time >> Fabric got more elastic
>> A lightweight material >> Fabric get more firm >> Overlap – Net X Sew – just choose one >> Get dried really fast
