These projects are a critical reinvestigation of the suburb and the suburban ideals. Elemental is situated in a context in which the suburb has not become the predominant condition. In response to this the suburban ideals are reappropriated in a modular fashion and synthesized with the existing informal context. Teddy Cruz on the other hand, is situated in the context of a dissasociated suburbia, where its structures are in direct conflict with its inhabitants (typically low-income immigrant families). His elemental - quinta monroy - 2004 projects architecturally adopt an informal logic to a situation that is overly defined. This synthesizes the cultural context with its physical environment that it inhabits.
