Landscape, and Urban Design Studio. Faculty: Alfredo Landeate  Guest lecture examining density and self-produced communities through the case of Caracas. The class questioned conventional definitions of slums and informality and explored self-produced neighborhoods as complex urban systems shaped by density, citizenship, social capital, violence, and community organization. Drawing from research and participatory projects in Petare, the lecture connected spatial analysis with tactical and strategic urban interventions intended to strengthen public space and connections across fragmented territories.
