SOCIAL NEIGHBOURHOOD
SUBJECT: URBANISM III
ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF LAND
DIVISION, THE DIVISION INTO LOTS
MAKES THE AMPLE SPACE POSSIBLE LIKE
A NET OF ROADS TO CARS AND
PEDESTRIANS, AND AMPLE SPACE OF
EXISTING FOREST PRESERVATION, AS A
SIGNIFICANT LEISURE AREA. THE
POSSIBLE PATHS CREATE A PLOT OF
PARALLEL AND PERPENDICULAR LINES
THAT ALLOW THE ORDERLY DISPLACEMENT
AND ORTHOGONAL FLOW IN ALL LINEAR square PLAN
DIRECTIONS. THE BLOCKS ARE
2009
DISTRIBUTED INTO RECTANGLES WHICH
HAVE EACH LOT FACING BOTH STREETS,
PROVIDING THE QUALITY OF THE
PROPOSED SPACE. ONE CAN PROPOSE 654
