The emphasis on this project is the urban intervention, and its immediate impact in the community. While taking into consideration the people residing in these informal settlements the proposed condition of the hydro-anal is a conceptual project that investigates  further development of the waterways in São Paulo, Brazil. In the sector that we are working in, Jardim Helena, it is a densely populated area and in a high risk flood zone. The displacement of the informal settlements had to be addressed. My design approach started by addressing housing for these people, but also trying to connect their cultural experience in the favelas though Soccer or “futebol” as referred to in Brazil. This is a cultural phenomenon in the country, a level of understanding that people can connect through, the game of soccer. So the idea emerged to provide a place of living and cultural impact in the community while providing diversity in living conditions. It was obvious that these people could not be dispersed throughout the city they must be kept in their  communities, so the idea of modular housing arose. As a solution to the current urban condition, a much higher density of living is proposed and the housing model complex changed. There was a careful emphasis devoted to the module, as it was derived from the soccer field broken down further dimensionally. This was really important to incorporate into the architecture, in order to achieve a notion of modularity at an urbanistic scale. The ideology of housing plus industry, and soccer created the perfect urban phenomenon with sense of recreation and jobs for all the people in the area.
