    CONCLUSION

    • A study such as this


    enlightens how a housing
    project can mean so much
    more than an architect’s
    vision of it in terms of plans,
    sections, elevation, built up
    space, block and void, etc.
    Its identity resides
    collectively within peoples’
    memories that get accessed
    and modified constantly.
    These housing projects are
    spaces that look outwards,
    spaces that are connected
    to the city.
