Jorge Mario Jáuregui

BIOGRAPHY

 Is an architect-urbanist based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.


 Born in Rosario, Argentina in 1948
 He graduated from the National University of Rosario, Argentina, as architect,
and at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro as architect-urbanist.
 He has been researching and working with the socio-spatial division between
Rio’s favelas and the rest of the city since the 1990s.
FIRM
 Jorge Mario Jáuregui Architects (JMJA) are based in Rio de Janeiro working on public interest
projects, in both the 'formal' and 'informal' areas of the city and are best known for their project
on the upgrading of Rio's favelas and their integration with the rest of the city. Under Brazil's
military dictatorship of the 1970s favelas were demolished and their residents displaced. Since
then there have been attempts at upgrading but these have been piecemeal with no clear
strategy. In 1994 following Cesar Maia's election as mayor of Rio, the city established a nine year
program called Favela-Bairro, which is the largest squatter settlement upgrading program in
Latin America. JMJA won an open competition to lead the project and in contrast to earlier
strategies they advocated a holistic approach to the favelas that builds on the existing and
addresses the physical, social and economic aspects.

Rambla de Manguinhos project
 The Zona Norte is home to some of Rio’s poorest, most degraded
neighborhoods; there, you’ll find that the notion of the broken city really
makes sense. He is working on a project, Rambla de Manguinhos, that is
looking to reestablish connections between two adjacent entities that have
been living in a state of isolation for many years, separated from each other
by a strip of no man’s land (clustered around a suburban train line) that was
literally called the Gaza Strip – that’s how dangerous it was.
Main aim of the project

 To enhance the connectivity of the urban structure as a whole while


discouraging the broken city perpetuation, the lack of urbanity, particularly
but not solely in the poor areas
 To democratize the enjoyment of urbanity, making it accessible to all the
citizens
 To guarantee the accessibility of each place and enhance its connections with
the surroundings taking the areas from isolation
 To do not remove anybody from their place in order not to break existing ties
(except for he areas of risk or in cases where it is necessary to create
clearings to permit conviviality)
Cont.

 To open clearings in the existing fabric introducing spaces and edifications as


urban and environmental re-qualifiers with legibility and pertinence
 To respect the history of the development of each place as well as the
investments made by ach dweller with their own effort
 To give opportunity to new centralities and potentialize the exiting ones by
increasing their connectivity
 To produce a drastic change in the image of the area, allowing its re-
subjectivation
 To produce cohesion articulating heterogeneous logics, stitching the city
without flattening it in homogeneity, searching for the coexistence of the city
of fluxes with the city of places
