Artist and Architect Marjetica Potrč discusses on the ad-hoc architecture and objects made by the residents of "informal cities," a name she has given to the impromptu residential areas that exist around the edges and in the shadows of global metropolises. She compares the model of the informal city in Caracas and the City Garden in Amsterdam.
What do the Community propose a model for living in the neighbourhood? How do we exit the empasse of Modernity? If we consider Society as Organism that generates new model of existence and coexistence. how do we practice and generate new model of existence? What, Where and Who is the local? Small communities and strong neighbourhood in Caracas have generated informal strategies of sustanability and participation. Informal City and the Informal Archtiecture produce village community ('barrios') based on forms of 'oral' regulation instead on 'written' regulation.
