Hey everybody, So for the last month or so (or longer), I’ve been pretty hush-hush about my thesis work.  Not a secret at all, I was had to take some steps backward, and then push beyond what I had completed at the end of April.  This is an image of one of three ‘methods’ for working with the fabric of the informal settlement, what I called the Appropriation in my presentation, but what has transformed into the Line.  Basically the act of taking an existing building, taking ownership of it, and then transforming the structure from a temporary to permanent.  The Line comes from mimicking the fabric of the street, a long market driven street at grade with living spaces above. The above is the end of the structure, where it meets a square used by the community of Koliwada.
