Text description provided by the architects. Mãe Luiza is not a typical “Favela” - its identity and character have been formed both by the unique natural setting and the creativity of the people of this strong community. Mãe Luiza is nestled between the protected natural zone of the dunes of Natal and the commercially developed oceanfront. Our urban study identifies the missing and underdeveloped urban activities in the neighborhood, traces available space within the densely built fabric, and distributes new activities within the areas potentially available for development.
