TRAVELING GRADUATE STUDIO | URBAN INFORMALITY | POSTINDUSTRIAL URBAN CORRIDORS | INCREMENTAL HOUSING | PEER-TO-PEER LEARNING

Latin American Studio 1: Post-Industrial Landscapes focused on São Paulo’s Tamanduateí Crescent—a 7-kilometer industrial corridor shaped by layered infrastructure and deep urban inequality. In response to housing shortages and flood risks, students developed scenarios pairing informal settlements with adjacent vacant sites, integrating water management and incremental housing strategies. The studio—first in a three-part series at Texas Tech University—included travel to São Paulo, where students engaged with local experts, visited social housing projects, and collaborated with Mackenzie Presbyterian University on a proposal for a small favela along the corridor.
