Nowadays we all want to LIVE in the URBAN AREA of the city,

Due to the EASE of ACCESS to all our NEEDS However,

UNEQUALITY DEFINE the TERRITORY at its own convenience

and LOW-INCOME people are REMAIN in MEDIOCRITY.





“Mi casa es tu casa” “My house is your house”, this phrase is used to welcome

guests and new members of the family (strangers), in order to feel at home. The goal

is for everyone to be comfortable and share as a family.

Nowadays inequality of land and the overpopulation in the urban area is one of the

most important issue in South America. Poverty in Ecuador is connected with

architecture to show the bad accessibility, Slope land, small spaces, poor material

and non basic service.

During 1960 to 1970, Quito land development was already built. Flat land and

valleys were taken by rich and middle class people. Low income people move to the

slope land and they have to find the way how to build their own houses. Slope land

can be the new land for a social housing and for people to live in good condition.

Latino culture is about sharing with people spend time with family and friends.

From this way of living is where Co-sharing space must be the main focus in this

project.

Sharing the common space with different families and at the same tiene reduce the

space to make the community affordable to the residents. Co-sharing concept

responds to the Site and Latino Culture as a new way of living in family, which it is

not common in South America.

Local material : bamboo is a natural material which grows in Ecuador. This kind of

material is not only for poor people, but architectural design will make it lost its bad

reputation. Flexibility and Organic & Mixed Structure:

- Main Structure / R.C.

- Secondary Structure / Bamboo

- Stilt Structure
