Individual Work

This project studies how to generate a sustainable economic cycle through the cultural activation of all citizens in slums, so as to improve the problems of slums and improve the urban differences in Brazil.

When thinking about urbanism and plural and inclusive cities, we can no longer disregard the territories occupied by self-built housing made by low-income social segments. Such territories, widely known as slums, are a substantial part of Rio de Janeiro for over a century. Through research on Rio's slum“Mare”, it is found that the low-income people here generally lack formal jobs and stable income, which has caused the land they occupy to become the fringe area of the city, facing water shortages and lack of public buildings. In addition, residents and Ngo groups frequently conduct educational and artistic activities in this area, but the venues are limited and the scope of influence is small.

This project provides a business strategy that links the common interests of multiple participants, transforms the original factories and residential buildings on the site, and establishes a sustainable economic activation site. The east side of the highway forms a cultural and commercial block based on the original advantages. The narrow strip on the west side of the highway forms a cultural display and supplement area. This solution not only solves the existing problems in the site, but also realizes the integration between the city and the slums.

Exploring the concept of sustainability in architecture provides a key response to the spatial differences and social polarization of the city, trying to find a suitable architectural expression and promoting the diverse development of slums to become a recognized part of the city.

Research

The main problem of slum dwellers is that they gather to form slums because of low work income. The rich cultural activities in the site can attract foreigners to use the original independent business foundation to make this an economic activator.

ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY (House)

The use

How

Pedestrian Shopping Street

When walking in a commercial street, in addition to feeling the commercial atmosphere on both sides, you can also interact with the people in the houses. The plan makes full use of the roof space. The Brazilian slums are called jale. In the past, these platforms were mostly used in slums. Residents build by themselves, and now through reasonable planning, in addition to installing a homestay suitable for five types of people on the high-rise platform, the abundant rooftop activities also attract tourists who live here.
