PEOPLE’S HOUSING PROJECT INTERWOVEN NEIGHBOURHOOD

November 2021

The popular housing project consists of analyzing the dynamics of selfbuilt neighborhoods, understanding the popular neighborhood as an urban ecosystem consisting of housing organisms that is in a constant mutation process by the dialectical relationship between territory and social dynamics. Taking into account the above, a territorial proposal is developed in the Caracoli and Santa Viviana neighborhoods to respond to this accelerated growth, urban disconnection and housing deficit. Similarly, a proposal is proposed on a smaller scale that responds to the precarious conditions under which it is found.

Overall Picture Location

The popular neighborhood is an urban ecosystem made up of housing organisms that is in a constant process of mutation due to the dialectical relationship between the territory and social dynamics.

The houses are constantly changing, since it´s owners of these increase their height in flats with the purpose of hybridizing the housing with spaces with commercial, industrial, endowment or artistic cultural spaces, that allows to make more economic profit from the housing.
