Description

    Location and Site

     

  • The settlement is located on former agricultural land situated on top of a plateau, providing a stable area for relocated families.
  • It is designed as a residential area for families displaced due to heavy flooding in the city of Angangueo.
  • The city's urban layout follows an organic grid, which adapts to the existing topography of the site.
  •  

    Pedestrian Network and Urban Connectivity

     

  • A network of pedestrian-dominant roads connects the urban blocks, promoting easy and accessible movement throughout the neighborhood.
  • Sidewalks and roads are at the same level and are paved with stone, a feature designed to encourage lively pedestrian activity and social interaction.
  •  

    Integration with Natural Surroundings

     

  • The design includes three finger-like projections that allow the settlement to merge seamlessly with the green surroundings, creating a natural transition between urban and rural landscapes.
  • Neighborhood centers are placed amidst the blocks to create community spaces and local hubs.
  •  

    Materials and Social Impact

     

  • The use of local materials and the pedestrian-friendly design elevate this social housing project beyond basic infrastructure.
