Dubai - Iwan Baan: Ingenious homes in unexpected places
Gebäude | Informationen | Videos | Emirates | Aussicht
In the center of Caracas, Venezuela, stands the 45-story "Tower of David," an unfinished, abandoned skyscraper. But about eight years ago, people started moving in. Photographer Iwan Baan shows how people build homes in unlikely places, touring us through the family apartments of Torre David, a city on the water in Nigeria, and an underground village in China. Glorious images celebrate humanity's ability to survive and make a home -- anywhere.

Oh hey! Have you thought about - Namdela Passive Income (just google it)? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my father got unbelievable results with it.

The conclusion to this session exemplifies the ingenuity of humans. Ignorance is abundant but creativity and innovation thrives. I enjoyed this very much. The bit about digging homes due to lack of materials is engineering at its finest. I wonder how they deal with heavy rains?

I agree with you Nelson Garcia. The tower of David has become a circus show for people outside Venezuela who do not have the slightest idea how big a problem it is for the city and the people who live on these structures designed for other purposes.
-
what?? is just people homeless that vandalize buildings..maybe is new to you..but is nothing new..come in Romania and see the Gypsies..they are doing EXACTLY the same thing..is NOT DESIGN..is just ..how SAD our world will be if no Architects..exist.

Was that the tower where Sergeant Brody was kept in?
-
fag
-
Wonderfully done!!!

It wasn't a mocking laugh, it was basic laughter at the idea of covering the brick wall with brick print wallpaper.. people would laugh no matter if they were poor or rich. An idea like that has comedic value, I'm sure you've seen movies that displays such humor..
-
The fact that the audience found humorous that the people's choice of "design" was covering 'brick with brick wallpaper' left me outraged. How could you laugh and not find empathise with another human being that just wants a better place to live....and to make that place a home with love and care.

Now you have all these architects praising torre de David as an example of IDK what (originality?)... I dare you to go live there or in any other slum in Caracas and tell me if that is a real model of architecture or just recipe for chaos... its easy to praise something you do not really understand specially when u come from a first world country, this soooo celebrated slum model doesnt solve any of the problems of the people it creates more and more problems
