Abstract
The article discusses the post-earthquake housing efforts in Mexico City following the 1985 earthquake, focusing on architect Carlos González Lobo's innovative approach to creating extendable housing units. Residents of collapsed vecindades collaborated with González Lobo to build adaptable homes using simple construction techniques and materials. The projects emphasized community involvement, self-built housing, and progressive growth, showcasing the power of participatory design in shaping architecture and fostering resilient communities.
