After an exhaustive and exacting study of these massive unregulated settlements, the artist proposes a partial intervention in these chaotic spaces.
The project begins with the statements by the Brazilian government recognizing property ownership of shanty residents, which gives the foundation for these unique buildings. Since most of the shanties are disappearing in the wake of the military "Shock Troops" followed by the arrival of demolition infrastructure: tractors and excavators. The artist's intention is to recover these spaces from recent historic memory. If the Cingapura Project (the project to demolish shanty towns and convert the space into a vertical habitat for the residents) will cancel out part of this illegal territorialization, why not propose alternatives to the suppression?
This is the proposal behind the artist's proposal for partial recycling, starting from the pre-existing reality. Dionisio González proposes a radical restructuring of the constructability, improving precarious conditions of habitability.
