GENERAL APPROACH The main aim of the project is providing a self urbanism model giving to the inhabitants the opportunity to decide where to situate a home, the way in which the individual relates with his surroundings, how to lead the future growth of the house, how to address the growing process of the urban fabric in an indeterminate open way to facilitate urban land regularization and prevent slum expansion through participatory lay-out planning The open combination, neither exact nor repetitive, between full and empty, regular and irregular furthers a flexible idea of code where the order resides in this possible shared directionality, rather than in the strict, rigid, conforming, sterile, repetition of events.
