LABYRINTH IN THE HEIGHTS
Labrynth In The Heights is a project which can be used in multiple ways to help create new connections due to an easy growth process.
In this case, it is placed in Rocinha, Río de Janeiro, whereit offers a solution to its lack of the usage of its rooftops. By adding this structure along the main and seccondary streets, these rooftops become new spaces from which everyone can profit and now enjoy.
By quickly growing horizontally and vertically, this project generates new platforms in diferent heights that when seen from the outside or inside, resemples the shape an long routes of a maze's structure.
In the end, every platform and rooftop ends up connected by stairs that enable a better flow along the favela.
