layering information

Our objective is to compose the mechanism in which we can establish small interventions inside the existing buildings or in the in-between spaces. We intend to base our overall design proposal on a self-sustained mechanism. This mechanism will be consisted of a number of interrelated factors that will be defined by specific social, economic and structural rules.

Our approach is bottom up. We are using two base drawings, section and plan, in which we intend to layer all the information that came out of our research. This information will include:

·        Social networks

·         Ethnicity

·         Materiality of the structure

·         Levels of decay

·         Vacancy of the houses

·         Demographics

·         Uses
