Ciudad Abierta

Hi again! This is another cluster example even more interesting cause it's developed, design and built by a team composed mainly by professors and students of the architecture school of Valparaiso, in Chile. The main idea is to create a Ciudad Abierta (open city) that stimulate the social relationships between the people who wants to experience this place and where the experience of every component of the group is shared with all the others in order to improve both the built space that the relationships themselves.

Leumann's Village

Hi everybody! This is an example of a cluster community that was developed in Turin around 1900 by the owner of a big factory (mr Leumann) that decided that to improve the production was important that the workers had very good life conditions. So he built a small self-suficient "village inside the city" with lot of function in it in a very small scale (school, city hall, church, ecc.). I thaught that could be a good reference!
