ROLE: urban planner, and design researcher.
RESPONSIBILITY: development of all “green infrastructure” and “industrial + manufacturing” master plans.
SUBTEXT: STU 1504, led by Argentine urban designer Juan Rios, worked on a challenging urbanization process located on the city of Rosario: the Nuevo Alberdi Popular Neighborhood, an informal settlement, being integrated formally into the physical and social infrastructure of the larger city.
My project team, “Rural Autonomies,” worked to utilize the flood conditions of the site to co-locate agriculture and urban agriculture production in low-lying lands, while developing social housing and rural economic manufacturing zones to catalyze autonomous production for the socially vulnerable residents of Nuevo Alberdi.
