Specifikacia Critical Neighbourhoods: The Architecture of Contested Communities Moreira Paulo
Critical Neighbourhoods offers analyses of three informal neighborhoods in Africa, Latin America, and India, translating their spatial and social characteristics into architectural language.At a time when architectural and urban studies are moving towards seeking to accept and understand informal neighborhoods rather than ignoring or eradicating them, the need for experiments on the ground is becoming increasingly urgent. In recent years, a growing number of architects and urban designers have committed themselves to the idea that these settlements are here to stay and require selective intervention in order to achieve better living conditions.This book contributes to the development of new architectural approaches to informal neighborhoods and to a better understanding of human habitats that relate spatial issues to broader economic and political questions.
