Method:

The project Outline of Constructing the Favela is to investigate how in time the Favela is evolving from a first settlement until the municipality is giving it a permanent destination, there for research is done in Paraisopolis one of the biggest favela in Sao Paulo. In this evalution of the favela there will be looked at the Building materials if there is a difference between building materials and the age and prospection of the favela is one of the important criteria to categories the fase evolution. next will be the Building Typology this is the apperance off the dwelling is it only a functional way or has it also a decorating function, are there one or two stories, is the window framing present, etc... To get the information there will be some meeting with persons in paraisopolis, and trying to get information of a building site and building supplier

Project Achilles:

Because of only visiting Paraisopolis there is no comparison between different favelas so outcome is not representing image of the Total area off Sao Paulo, the Favela off paraisopolis is allready here for 25 years so problem is to see how a new area is suaqed, therefore the first fase off the Timeline is not certain to be complete corrected.
