The Villa
21.24 is the biggest shantytown in the City of Buenos
Aires, that is localized in a peripheral and industrial
area, near the meander river Riachuelo, the south city
limit. |
The
knowledge of characteristics of this particular
territory has got the aim to resolve the housing
emergency. Through the community design between the
Neighbourhood and the City, the architect is the main
character. Only with questionnaires, visits, meetings he
analyzes and works out the needs briefing. The
surrounding landscape is industrial, so the conversion
is necessary to built new housing system. “No house
already built, Nobody move” is the urban concept. The
aim is to start the urbanization and to change the slum
in a quarter of the city. Building, Moving and
Demolishing are three necessary and sufficient
conditions to improve the 21.24’s social situation and
the coexistence between two realities: formal and
informal. Conversing, Building and Consolidating are the
urban plan instruments to change the feelings of the two
Cities:
_ Informal City, belong to the Neighbours, have to
occupy spaces to have a house, that should be a right.
_ Formal City, belong to Porteņos, Buenos Aires’
habitants, afraid for the Slums, criminal and violent
place. |
