Esme

Hi guys

I'm on my Part 1 Placement in Brazil, and currently working on a research project on social housing projects. I could do with some help finding precedents as my list so far is mainly European based because there doesn't seem to be much else turning up in my internet and journal database searches.

The lovely shoes not only show the different mood , even represent different attitude of life,love or hate, happy or sad.
No matter what feeling you have now ,there is always a pair of shoes suitable for you!!!

I first knew ed hardy clothing in a film, but I don't remember the name already.
I love the style very much, especailly the eye-catching looks it give.
And I wish to have a ed hardy store as well.
However, as a non-so-rich person who wants to have ed hardy, it is better to order from cheap ed hardy., where my boyfriend ordered.
Anyway, I am so happy with these ed hardys.

Here's a suggestion, you should look for housing upgrade projects ran by NGO's

For example this project in Argentina
Sites and Services for Low-income Families, North of Gran, Buenos Aires, Argentina: APAC - Association for Community Support, an Argentinean NGO, started a program with the San Juan Bosco Foundation, to offer affordable systems for low-income families to access land, basic infrastructure and build self-help housing. The programme, based on the Barrio Esperanza experience, is on the periphery of Benavidez, a town of 20,000 inhabitants. About 10.5 ha. of undeveloped land was bought; legislation was adopted by the Town Hall for a subdivision of 173 plots of differing dimensions. Lot costs were reduced from 20-22 US$/sq.m to $8.20. Roads were lengthened and paved, services provided and improved (water, electricity, telephone), and public transportation availed. Possession of 160 lots have been granted and the owners have started construction of their homes through a community self- help program. Contact: Ezequiel Zapiola, APAC, Terrero 1413, San Isidro - 1642, Buenos Aires, Argentina Tel/Fax: 54 1 747 4895.

You have to realize that many social housing projects are quite idealized and don't deal with the socio-economics in underdeveloped countries, not to mention the issue of corruption that plagues Brazil.
Take a look at this link, it has a list of these types of projects by continent.

http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/habitat/dogood/dogood2.asp

If you find it helpful and would like a description of similar project try the book "Architecture of Empowerment" People, Shelter and Livable Cities.

Also as you're in Brazil perhaps you should check out the city of Curitiba, the city itself is a social housing project!

I hope this helps, good luck!
