GRADUATE DESIGN STUDIO: Housing Infrastructure led by Catherine Venart, fall 2012
PROPOSALA land-stabilizing housing platform with waste and water collection systems.
Collecting ground and surface water could reduces erosion and landslides. And low-tech filters would make collected water potable.
The waste collection facility, run by residents, converts waste into high-grade fertilizer for local farmers.
Large populations now live in informal barrios, which lack running water, sewage treatment and are highly prone to landslides.
