“Nuevos aplausos para elemental
Arquitectos de distintos países muestran sus prototipos de vivienda social, de emergencia y de bajo costo; tópicos en torno a los cuales se desarrolla la Trienal de Milán. En esta versión, denominada “Casa per Tutti” participa el arquitecto chileno Alejandro Aravena, quien lidera Elemental, proyecto que en esta muestra logró destacarse entre otros que aún no se toman en serio un tema de relevancia mundial.
Tokio, Ciudad de México, Sao Paulo, Nueva York y Bombai son algunas de las diez urbes más pobladas del mundo. Todas bordean los veinte millones de habitantes, mientras Japón supera los treinta. Muchas de ellas son deficitarias en materia de vivienda social, a pesar de los esfuerzos que a diario se realizan para revertir la situación. Pero esto también ocurre en ciudades latinoamericanas que, como Santiago, aunque menos pobladas, no están ajenas a ese problema.”
