WEAVE

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Weave is an Urban Intervention based in Mexico city, it explores the possibility of how the context can be used as a canvas to build upon and
taking into consideration the Segundo Piso.In a dense urban fabric such as Mexico City, where there is a scarcity of available real estate for new
 Construction, Weave looks towards activating the rooftops of existing infrastructure by creating a new network of built mass with social housing 
as the main function. The project is highly influenced by its context in terms of design and language.

SITE JUSTIFICATION - Required a site with Triangular aspects in order to incorporate the urban intervention.

These inturn, becomes built mass for functions.
