Housing is a platform that provides economic, social, and ecological stability. In Mexico, this platform houses the rural to urban migrant workers at their arrival to the city, but the space does not afford the various forms of relating to the environment. La traza (lot system) and the efficient public infrastructure provide a set of constraints that underpin the community to grow around the street, the alley, and the first-floor business as their spaces of exchanges.

development base on the internal processes
housing grow around these nodes of exchange
Another scenario in this landscape could provide a different set of relationships (infrastructure and services) based on the internal processes and values allowing individuals to express their diverse modes of benefiting from space. Social housing developments could work as a poly-node system that grows along with the community, providing confluent points at various scales; the influence on the broader community, the nodes where the community exchange ideas, values and benefits and the relationships of domestic and communal(public).
