Diego Torres TorritiFernando Garcia-Huidobro VergaraNicolás Tugas FaundezMariia Pashenko TIME IS THE ARCHITECTOn-site research of PREVI-Lima revealed the unfolding of events in the lives of the inhabitants and the impact of those in terms of building changes. The following thesis emerged:1.-structure (both in its abstract and its material sense) sets the rules of the game. It is stable.2.-appearance (semblance of the project) is unstable and likely to change.Thus, abdicating the control of appearance but reinforcing the logistics of structure, ideas for a versatile and urbane low cost housing were pursued. These are currently implemented within the framework of the Elemental low-cost housing programme. Tutor(s)
