Our suburb is in a constant state of loss and disrepair; the deficiencies of urban sprawls reject the public needs, whilst the ongoing densification neglect history. This project recalls the remnants and of the diminishing suburban fabric by re sampling the element and language memories of suburbia, transforming it into a new typology.​​​​​​​

​

The proposal seeks to build an intermediate climate between the desire to live in a private ritual and the emerging needs for density, which is neither an abandonment of freedom nor a replication of current redundancy. Ultimately, it aims to rejuvenate our suburbs into a collective re-burbia.
