11. CASTROVILLE, CA - Final Presentation IDENTITY Artichoke ‘cynara cardunculus’ Carduus car • duus An artichoke is actually a bud of a thistle. The artichoke is harvested before the thistle blooms. The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom. The suffix ‘car’ has a connotation that roughly translates to ‘flesh’. The root ‘duus’ translates to ‘come out’. Homer 8th century B.C. Castroville The ancient writer Homer, writes about a fleshy garden vegetable. He called this plant a “Carduus”. Castroville is a lot like an artichoke, it is being harvested before it can bloom. However, it has all the necessary components to bloom. It just needs encouragement, inspiration, and fresh air.

39. Case Study: Incremental Housing Projects in Iquique, Chile In 2002, Elemental received a commission to build 100 units of low-income housing in the city of Iquique, Chile. Their budget was $7,500 per unit. “Housing as a Verb,” by architect John F.C. Turner. Turner made the case that housing ought not be a static unit that is packaged and handed over to people. Rather, housing should be conceived of as an ongoing project wherein residents are co-creators. The community was adamant that they did not want large high- rise style public-housing, and even threatened a hunger strike that type of housing was provided. Ville Verde Constitución, Chile
