Elemental
Resumen del Libro
What began as an academic initiative to improve the quality of life of poor strata of the population has meanwhile become a professional do tank offering services that cover the entire spectrum of urban development. Alejandro Aravena (*1967 in Santiago de Chile) founded Elemental in 2001 in his hometown with the goal of alleviating social deprivation directly instead of hoping for a balance of income relations. This publication documents the social activity and history of the international architectural team and sheds light on its financing strategies, for example through participative building.0Exhibition: 13th International Architecture Exhibition, Venice, Italy (29.8.-25.11.2012).
