The Perfect Slum: januari 2010

http://inhetslop.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Klein stukje verharding voor een messenslijperij, gemaakt van gebroken slijpstenen. Deze fotomontages van realiteit en fictieve bestrating werden gebruikt bij een stud...

On the architecture of informal settlement. The distinction between formal and informal settlement lies in the application of rules, codes, zoning plans, property rights and so on. In the formal world, the whole structure of formalities is the foundation of development. Informal settlements do not consider formalities. That is why they are called informal. In order to understand the concept of incremental development, this chapter is about growth in that other world, called the formality. To stand the he...
