Awesome
Professor Loureiro expects a lot from her students. So, she expects them to draw great pictures. She's very inspiring and helps to understand what needs to be done at different levels of the project. Honestly, of course, you have to work for the grade that you want.

The research will analyze how participatory design can improve the typological and architectural aspects of Brazilian housing program My House My Life. The aim of the study is twofold: 1) to assess the feasibility of participatory design as an improvement tool in the Brazilian housing program My House My Life. 2) to understand how this methodology can be employed in developing housing typologies adequate for the household composition of inhabitants. In order to perform this analysis and subsequent conclusions, the research will use Elemental’s system as a departure point for the analysis of the viability of this approach in Brazil. The firm have built several housing complexes based on successful participatory design methodology that will be crucial to contrast with selected case studies located in Joao Pessoa, Paraiba.
