GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THE SLUM GROWTH BEHAVIOR, AN ORGANIC ARCHITECTURE GROWTH AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE ASSEMBLY OF SLUM HOUSING AND HOW IT REACTS TO THE NATURAL LANDSCAPES OF MOUNTAINS AND RIVERS. IN ANALYZING THE ROCINHA FAVELAS AS A CASE STUDY, ONE CAN DETERMINE THE ADVANTAGES OF SLUM GROWTH: THE CONNECTIVITY OF COMMUNITIES, THE NATURAL FORMATION OF HOUSING UNITS CONFORMING TO THE EXISITNG LANDSCAPES AND PASSAGEWAYS, AND THESE RULES OF ASSEMBLY CAN THEN BE APPLIED TO VARIOUS SITES AND URBANSCAPES WITH DIFFERENT CONSTRAINTS OF INFRASTRUCTURE.
