Abstract

This set comprises 614 flats, which have been contained in two distinct types of buildings to avoid monotony: low blocks and tall ones. The heights of the buildings vary, and increase from the centre outwards. The schools of only one level, and also five storey buildings, are situated near the lower boundary of the site. Each space between parallel blocks is limited at one of its ends by a higher building, thus becoming an outdoor resting space, and not merely a thoroughfare. The shops have been located on the most important street which runs round the set of blocks and then runs inwards towards a garden square, which is reached through this commercial zone. The roads for vehicles have been so placed that they do not interfere with the pedestrian pathways. The satisfactory organization of the blocks, volumes and circulation patterns makes this set of apartment blocks one of considerable interest from the urban planning point of view.
