This is a project by the firm ELEMENTAL in which they were commissioned to design a building that could accommodate 100 families but the project was designed in such a way that only so much was built while the rest was left to be requisitioned in the typical adhoc architecture of the shanty town. I think what is interesting about this project beyond the efficiency of the land use is that the building does not impede the vernacular act of architecture that normally would take place in the poorer urban areas of, in this case, the Chilian cities. The website has alot of interesting images and diagrams as well as videos.Action Architecture
