COLOMBIA, SANTA ROSA DE CABAL |
PROJECT HISTORY
Seventy families: we taught them to build a neighborhood for themselves, in the mountains of central Colombia. Originally it started as a project of Construyamos, one of the largest self help housing cooperatives in Latin America, with an excellent track record of building mass-produced, low-cost housing. Their usual plan was to have eighteen families at a time, forming a group. An architect would draw up a standard house, repeated eighteen times, identically repeated.
