Vila Estrutural

Vila Estrutural began in the 60’s as an illegal settlement near to the main landfill of Brasília, Brazil’s Capital. After several ineffective trials to relocate the population that was living there (approximately 35.000 in 1995), in terrible environmental and sanitary conditions, the Government of the Federal District decided to urbanize the area and began the implementation of basic public equipments that could transform one of the biggest slums of the Capital in a regular neighborhood.   The Kindergarten/Day Care and the Elementary School / Cultural Center that we projected to be built in the settlement are part of these efforts to make the life of an entire population more dignified and to provide hope that the future will bring better opportunities.  Work performed by Max Amaral
