Title: Cure Penabad-Courtyard Housing - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Cure Penabad - Located seven miles south of the historic city center of Guatemala City, the project consists of twelve courtyard housing typologies located within a new urban development. The overall site is an elevated plateau flanked by an ecological preserve to the southwest that affords commanding views of the existing city and surrounding landscape. The design for the various patio houses is guided by two primary concerns. The first is the exploration of the courtyard as the principal organizing element of design. In Guatemala, the courtyard house is the basic building block of Antigua and continued to be used in the development of residential architecture throughout the country up until the Second World War.
