Two site plans, showing the result of the neighborhood, when it was actually laid out on the ground, and as it was subsequently built. They depict the reality of form which comes from the process, building by building, and family by family, each thought out on the ground itself, shaping each place according to its unique conditions. The first site plan shows the layout of houses as completed on the ground by the families, and the second shows the same after some local adjustments and fine-tuning.
