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