This decision would allow it to be part of a production process with the local inhabitants of the area and thereby stimulate the local economy. The main goal is to take this opportunity to create a more sustainable community with a new model of planning through an architectural response.
The intervention in the Canoa community (Ecuador) seeks to restore and improve the living conditions of the population that was affected by the 7.6 magnitude earthquake in 2016, which left 90% of buildings destroyed. It proposes using the empty lots for emergency housing that can vary in size to adapt to the conditions of the lot with 5 different housing design options.
