THE 3 STAGED SYSTEM | 3 DIMENSIONS OF INTERVENTION | 3 DISCIPLINES
Architecturally, I propose gabion wall foundations which serve as stable platforms for architecture to grow (LINE). Urbanistically, I propose a series of covered civic spaces to foster identity among the Peruvian urban poor (PLANE). Landscape architecture stems from the proposition of harvesting and remediating greywater from public baths and laundries which feed bamboo farms intended for construction use (VOLUME). 3 disciplines are represented in a triad of homeopathic interventions on the impoverished hillsides of Lima. The first move was simple and elegant: add stairways for the people and recreation spaces for event. The next logical step is to weave the stairways with the programatic suture, guided by the architect and manifested by the citizen.
