16. RECAPITULATORY QUESTIONS
- DENSITY
two scales: urban fabric and living unit
need for and consequences of decompression within units
- SPATIAL ARRANGEMENT & SIZE
highly efficient use of spare space (three dimensions)
usually precarious hygienic conditions (light, air, sewage)
- TYPOLOGY
appropriateness of different building types for informal housing use
- INTERVENTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT
-already with entitling and decompression much improvement can be achieved, be-
cause of own investments inhabitants.
Building types meant for dwelling are most appropriate for this approach.
-then with intervention of architect more quality of dwelling can be achieved and a
larger scope of building types can be made appropriate.
