9 familias, Arquitectura de Emergencia

106

An alternative model for the development of 9 family homes.

Initiator(s)

Torolab

Description

The project focuses on Lagunitas, an underdeveloped neighbourhood in Tijuana, and it suggests a sustainable and alternative model for architecture development in a city where traditional planning development has not been able to keep up with its fast growth. Frequently, the buildings lack basic infrastructures such as electricity and sewage. For the project 9 families living in the neighbourhood worked together with the artists, who acted as facilitators, to activate a process of co-design for their own homes.
