Competition: we’re giving readers the chance to win one of five copies of a book about the Golden Lion-winning Torre David project presented at last year’s Venice Architecture Biennale.
Torre David: Informal Vertical Communities contains photographs by Iwan Baan that document life in an unfinished 45-storey skyscraper in Caracas, home to more than 750 families. Pictures show how the residents have created a community for themselves, introducing a gym, a hair salon, shops and other amenities.
The images were displayed in an exhibition and restaurant by Urban-Think Tank of Venezuela and architecture critic Justin McGuirk at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2012, which received an award for best project at the event.
For more information about the project read our story about it here, or watch the movies we filmed with Justin McGuirk and Iwan Baan at the biennale.
Edited by Urban-Think Tank and published by Lars Müller, the book also contains plans and diagrams of the structure, plus information about life in the vertical slum.
