  • Based in Buenos Aires, m7red is an urban resources network with archives, laboratories and consulting offices. M7red was founded by Mauricio Corbalan and Pio Torroja in 2005. Since then, they have been working with a wide range of experts and non-experts, analyzing, discussing, researching and making proposals on the most pressing political and urban topics. We are working on the boundaries between an NGO, a research group, urban consulting and a strategic forum.

    The model making day was held at the Deok Chun Market area. We visited the 7th district neighbourhood association and we invited them to take part in the construction of the model. They suggested and discussed with us the spots that should be represented in the model. They also discussed their ideas related how to develop the area following other patterns of density. After that they invited us to a small field trip in the area where they told us how the announcement of redevelopment are affecting small business in the area. We visited some shops and a recycling center, to know who and how is done the circuit of urban recycling in the area. We visited some courtyards and they referred to us the way urban farming makes ties between the tenants of mansions. We shared lunch together and they made suggestions about how the model should express the positives ways of the area to cope with cities problems, that could be replicated in a future neighbourhood.
