Las ciudades no pueden seguir creciendo de manera desproporcionada, con suburbios interminables, la evolucion de una ciudad debe ser el mas acorde con la integración de los espacios donde la funcionalidad, la cercania y la conectividad urbana no se desmangue……. Lo que no quiere decir que esto este mal …..

This has already proven to be an effective way of increasing density. It has been used in at least Auckland, NZ. Called a ‘conversion’ or ‘villa conversion’many homes especially in inner suburbs (c. 1900) have been divided c.1950-60. Today these conversions are reverting back to single dwellings mainly due to gentrification.

Part of the atrocity of suburbs is the amount of paved space (as in area of road per home accessed is gross). Couldn’t the space between buildings be a little greener??

Conceptually, this is a great way forward, but in reality, these homes could be easily partitioned without incurring all the extra costs and expenses.

sweet. reminds me of ray liotta complaining about the pasta in exurbia at the end of ‘good fellas’. it would make an ideal subdivision for a posthumous, post-minimalist witness protection program. nice to imagine matta-clark and robert smithson already in residence(s?), with eva hesse, and now sol lewitt, down the street. really beautiful, eerie renderings.
