As a way to bring healthy eating into the haphazard living conditions and increase self-sustainability of the community, the Masterplan calls for four urban farm loops of distinctive productive functions covering all quadrants of the Villa 31 shantytown at the central district of the city. It is envisioned as a unifying, social infrastructure that infiltrates from above, linking every living unit to the “healthy network” and education venues.

​

The elementary school is situated at the intersection of the four loops, where education extends beyond the classrooms and into the growing plots. Classrooms and facilities are defined by adjustable brise-soleil elements that are plugged into the permanent infrastructure as necessary. Located at the locus of the community, the site also serves as a central meeting ground for the whole community, where their spirit to share and grow are celebrated by the energetic structural forms of the infrastructure.
