MSD Thesis, Submited for Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master of Urban Design, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, The University of Melbourne, Semester 02, 2020
Through multi-scalar mapping, this thesis investigates the properties of informal urban morphologies and the morphogenic processes that generate
them. By examining 4 different cases in Chile —where informal settlements have been dramatically increasing during the last decades— this study
sheds light on the logics and patterns that emerge from a range of informal morphologies. Furthermore, the research explores the relations and factors
at play in the emergence of informal urban design, opening directions for future investigation.
