ARCHITECTURE AND CRITICAL SPATIAL PRACTICE (ACSP) SOMETHING FANTASTIC - Smart, touching, simple achitecture. Architecture, Urbanism, Design. After almost a century of diffuse functional planning, the return to the compact city is driven by a strategy in which is twofold; on the one hand it is necessary to rethink urban sustainability and mobility, and on the other, we must preserve the surrounding natural landscapes.
Urban densification has become a political objective and it displays a large variety of forms, depending on cultural and political context. Emmen is striving towards increased density of its city center and reinforces the three main characteristics of the city’s identity: “urbanity, landscape and leisure”. The city aims to achieve these goals by huge restructuring works of post war housing areas and by adding 1,100 dwellings in the inner city area. The Europan location is one of the sites where these dwellings will be realized. Jorge Mario Jáuregui. Jorge Mario Jáuregui Architects. Jorge Mario Jáuregui Architects (JMJA) are based in Rio de Janeiro working on public interest projects, in both the 'formal' and 'informal' areas of the city and are best known for their project on the upgrading of Rio's favelas and their integration with the rest of the city.
Under Brazil's military dictatorship of the 1970s favelas were demolished and their residents displaced. Since then there have been attempts at upgrading but these have been piecemeal with no clear strategy. FREDERICO DE HOLANDA - fredericodeholanda.com.br. Nova Centralidade Angola.
