Each level organizes a different part of the program; the access goes through the lower level were you find the parking zone, storage and an open shower.

The house is organized in two parallel volumes, displaced to sit on the uneven terrain and both facing the view to the east. The lower volume accommodates two bedrooms, each with space for desk, closet and bathroom. The upper volume is a single space for living room, dining and kitchen. The east terrace stands over de lower volume, one story over the ground level, to enjoy the view from a vantage point. Urban risk assessments : understanding disaster and climate risk in cities.

Two billion new urban residents are expected in the next 20 years, adding to the world’s already burgeoning cities. Rapid urbanization, accompanied by increased competition for land, decreased vegetation cover, changes in land use, and greater variability in climate are drivers that alter population distribution, relative wealth or impoverishment, and potential hazards and vulnerabilities over a short time horizon. To date the response to disasters has largely been reactive. Given the significant impact that natural hazards and climate change will have on urban investments, increasing priority is now placed on proactive, adaptive planning to reduce and manage the potential for disasters and climate change. With this recognition, the value of identifying, diagnosing and mapping high risk areas is gaining visibility and importance. The Urban Risk Assessment (URA) presents a flexible approach that project and city managers can use to identify feasible measures to assess a city’s risk.

Reconstruction – UN-Habitat. Official Website of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme. UN-Habitat’s experience and expertise in the shelter sector has been highly recognized, not only at the global level, but, most importantly, at the local field level in countries as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Haiti, Kosovo, Myanmar, Indonesia, and the Philippines, among others. Here are some recent examples of UN-Habitat’s humanitarian response involvements: Urban Syria The Syrian conflict and subsequent humanitarian response, in urban areas, will be the largest and most challenging conflict-related response for more than a decade, and to some extent will be the most complex urban challenge in recent history. Current estimates of destroyed and damaged homes is well in excess of 250,000, suggesting that more than USD 7 billion will be required, on housing alone, to support families in the recovery process.
