Villa Ordos, affordable approach to excellency.
Villa Ordos by Alejandro Aravena
If during modernism, architectural experimentation was practiced through large housing projects, we now find it in curated projects such as this, on countries with a raising -or at least before the crisis- economy. A social housing visionary, who engaged residents in designing their own homes, urges architects to address issues of poverty, pollution, and segregation. Leading a new generation of architects that have a holistic understanding of the built environment and has clearly demonstrated the ability to connect social responsibility, economic demands, the design of the human habitat and the city.
