A slum is a highly populated urban residential area consisting mostly of closely packed, decrepit housing units in a situation of deteriorated or incomplete infrastructure, inhabited primarily by impoverished persons. While slums differ in size and other characteristics, most lack reliable sanitation services, supply of clean water, reliable electricity, law enforcement and other basic services.
According to UN-Habitat, around 33% of the urban population in the developing world in 2012, or about 863 million people, lived in slums.
As an Architectural Visualizer my job is to make images of “fascinated” buildings, to sell something.
For my first personal project of the year i wanted to create something different, my point is to focus on what it has happened and still happens in many places of the world.
The world and the architectural skill are moving fast with new technologies, but somewhere, not so far from us, there are still people living in these inhumane conditions.
