A project made possible by the Turan and Linda Duda Traveling Fellowship
"Within Formal Cities" is a project by Abe Drechsler and Brian Gaudio to document
housing and infrastructure projects in 5 cities in South America:
Bogota, Lima, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, and Sao Paulo.

A CHANGING WORLD |
UNPREPARED CITIES |
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS |
|
By 2050, an estimated 70% of the global population will live in cities - many will come for jobs and the promise of a higher standard of living. It is estimated that 1.41 billion more people will move to cities in the next 40 years.
|
Many cities are not prepared to house this influx of people, not to mention their needs for work, family, and recreation. This leads to the formation of informal communities within the larger, formal cities themselves. By 2030, 1 out of every 4 people in the world will live in slums / informal communities
|
There is much to learn from the way these informal communities address housing and infrastructure. In the 21st century, it will be informal communities like those in South America that are on the edge of architectural innovation.

TRAVELAbe Drechsler and Brian Gaudio were awarded the 2014 Duda Travel Fellowship upon graduating from North Carolina State University. In the Fall of 2014, they traveled to and studied 5 cities in South America to document housing and infrastructure projects in informal communities.
|
DOCUMENTWhile abroad, they examined everything from self-built houses in the favelas of Rio, to government-funded housing projects designed by world-famous architects in Lima. In each location they photographed, sketched, and analyzed buildings and street-scapes. Additionally, they meet with local designers, professors, and community organizers to discuss critical issues related to housing and infrastructure.
|
SHAREWhile traveling, they updated their progress through a podcast and website. Now, they are in the process of producing a short documentary, as well as giving lectures so that they can share their findings with universities, design firms, and students. They will be able to connect with and share their experiences with you!
