Preparation

Step 1/25 - Concept

So, for this contest I've decided to work on a new town concept. Returning to the density of a favela it seemed interesting to work in both urban organization and a domestic scale.

Step 2/25 - Thai village

In looking further I found this other concept of Thai village concept built on stilts.

That's it ! I mix the two concepts, my favela is not on the sea, just above it. I want to build a living place for poor fishermen families. The idea is here and now I have to resize the village.

Step 3/25 - New Babylon

The architect Constant developed between the years 50 and 70 a visionary architectural project New Babylon. This project is the result of his collaboration with the Situationists, it’s the realization of a form of utopia. It’s a great inspiration of a complexity that I looking for. The project is composed level by level.
