This project started with a trip to Lima, Peru January of 2010 led by architect Ricardo Rabines with Safdie Rabines Architects. It entailed an on-site understanding of the social, political and financial layers creating conditions such as the barrios in Rimac. The research included understanding an appropriate intervention to this "dangerous" and shunned upon slum site by the Rimac River in Lima. The research lead to a concluding design proposal shown on boards 7 and 8-9 of how to strengthen the spirit of the people in the slums through introducing a self-sustainable livelihoods network utilizing the people's agricultural origin and cultural strengths.
Today I am returning to Lima, taking action.
