Short Introduction to the Area of Study
This area is in Martinez in the outskirts of Buenos Aires . It’s located between the streets Hipolito Yrigoyen, Panama, Corrientes and Fleming Avenue. In the area you can find residential houses, a gas station, some commercial stores and offices. I named the project “Dupont area” because you can find here the offices of the company. It’s, no dough, an everyday landscape from Buenos Aires suburbs, since most of the suburbs have grown with not much urban design, regulation or planning. Damian, Buenos Aires coordinator, suggested the area to me. I visited the area and thought that it would be a challenging area to be studied. Although it’s a place I do not feel related to, it might be interesting to understand its evolution and think of a proposal for a change.
