Abstract:
|
This thesis is an exploration and celebration of the
favela vernacular in Sao Paulo in an effort to present
slum vernacular as not only as a relevant architectural
typology in today’s rapidly urbanizing world, but an
extremely valuable one. This community-driven
urban plan centers on mental and physical health by
reestablishing vital streets and community spaces
in one block of Heliopolis that were lost in the
densification of dwellings.
Through maintaining existing entry conditions,
textural patterns and flows, and inserting sustainable
landscaping and urban agriculture opportunities, the
plan offers a possible implementation of a new block
structure that will alleviate sanitation issues, crime,
and the reliance on external resources.
