To better understand the possibilities, and to better educate developers, workers, and students about the research, INFONAVIT engaged with MOS to develop a master plan for a campus of 32 built prototypes and design an education center to promote awareness and study of workers' housing typologies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe selection process revealed various categories and themes for which the projects could be classified. Some projects rethink the fundamentals of low-income housing's spatial organization (corridors, courtyards, roofs), some rework labor and construction, and some recast structure or material. The forms of these works are generally economical but, unlike early-modernist projects at the Weissenhof Estate, their attitude is not one of a radical break. If anything, these works relate to the vast, varied world of contemporary vernacular construction - the majority of the built world that Architecture glosses over. Each house responds to different climates, each house maintains their designed solar orientation, each house exhibits potential for growth by aggregation, repetition, or various strategies of extension, infill, and addition. All of the houses retain their individual identities within the larger campus. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePresenting the 32 projects selected and built, including research, drawings, and descriptions by the architects, and an essay by Canadian Centre for Architecture Director Giovanna Borasi titled \"A Large Urban Garden Where You Can Learn About Architecture,\" Laboratorio de Vivienda considers the problem of low-income housing by bringing thoughtful attention and expertise of architects, considering how these proposals, assembled into a collective, would work together toward creating not an estate but a community for Apan. For, given the limited resources of such works, each decision gains greater significance and has greater impact on the design and on the life of its inhabitants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWith Contributions of: \u003cbr\u003eCarlos Zedillo Velasco\u003cbr\u003eGiovanna Borasi\u003cbr\u003eDVCH DeVillarChacon Arquitectos\u003cbr\u003eFrida Escobedo\u003cbr\u003eDellekamp Arquitectos Derek Dellekamp \u0026amp; Jachen Schleich\u003cbr\u003eRozana Montiel Estudio de Arquitectura\u003cbr\u003eAmbrosi Etchegaray\u003cbr\u003eZooburbia\u003cbr\u003eZago Architecture\u003cbr\u003eTaller Mauricio Rocha + Gabriela Carrillo\u003cbr\u003eTaller de Arquitectura X\u003cbr\u003eGriffin Enright Architects\u003cbr\u003eTatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO\u003cbr\u003eFrancisco Pardo Arquitecto\u003cbr\u003eEnrique Norten TEN Arquitectos\u003cbr\u003ePita \u0026amp; Bloom\u003cbr\u003eBGP Arquitectura\u003cbr\u003eZeller \u0026amp; Moye\u003cbr\u003eAccidental Estudio de Arquitectura\u003cbr\u003eNuño - Mac Gregor - De Buen Arquitectos SC\u003cbr\u003eSAYA+ Arquitectos\u003cbr\u003eCanoVera Arquitectura\u003cbr\u003eFernanda Canales\u003cbr\u003eRNThomsen ARCHITECTURE\u003cbr\u003ePRODUCTORA\u003cbr\u003eAgraz Arquitectos SC\u003cbr\u003eRojkind Arquitectos\u003cbr\u003eTactic-A\u003cbr\u003eGAETA-SPRINGALL Arquitectos\u003cbr\u003eTALLER ADG\u003cbr\u003eTaller 4:00 A.M.\u003cbr\u003eCRO Studio\u003cbr\u003eJC Arquitectura\u003cbr\u003eDCPP\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 13 x 9.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 26, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51763953172768,"sku":"9781638401124","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/a9c9e72177ac0eeff8d16fa196148e92.webp?v=1780242957","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/laboratorio-de-vivienda-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
