Mass Housing in Ixtapaluca, Mexico

^ Architecture - Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton, from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
^ Architect - An architect is a person trained in the planning, design and oversight of the construction of buildings. To practice architecture means to offer or render services in connection with the design and construction of a building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or use.
^ Pritzker Architecture Prize - The Pritzker Architecture Prize is awarded annually by the Hyatt Foundation to honour "a living architect whose built work demonstrates a combination of those qualities of talent, vision and commitment, which has produced consistent and significant contributions to humanity and the built environment through the art of architecture".

I hate those streets where every house looks the same. You can never tell which one is yours at first, or when you’re visiting friends. When I was a small boy, I got lost once visiting my aunt just by going outside the house. I couldn’t remember how to get back :).

It is happening the same in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but we’re moving upward to the skies. Did you ever see an areal view of São Paulo? There are just lots and lots of buildings!

fortunately, it will take only a week or less for mexican neighbours to reinvent their homes by adding, painting, planting in their properties. they fulfill the lack of identity pretty well.
