CONNECTING AND INTEGRATING Social spaces, retails and outdoor green areas are really significant in the favela. Therefore, by grouping these areas and linking them to each of the living spaces was my first move. And by introducing urban farming into the site, residents can grow small, light agriculture such as flowers, herbs and tealeaves, for self use and also could be sold in their self owned retail spaces. The agriculture would also bring an urban carpet that changes color throughout the site, according to the different seasons. The main green shopping strip would group the retails and restaurants together and goes all the way into the existing favela, so to invite people from the whole Parais贸polis to come and shop, and use the public facilities.
