    Scientific matrix.

Particularly praised by the jury are the analytical drawings made by the author to understand the “DNA” of the existing urban fabric – its form, street patterns, natural elements, collective spaces and so forth. The drawings establish the armature for a range of architectural interventions that follow and expand upon the genetic code of the settlement. The proposed strategies to regenerate the neighborhood are well-considered and include measures to improve the quality of connections, to enhance income generation and trade within the community and to allow kinship groups to take over ownership of their neighborhood.
