During the Talking Heads conference at the Haute école d’art et de design, in Genève, Alfredo Brillembourg will present the Tower of David – a half-built 52-floor skyscraper in downtown Caracas – which has been home to thousands of squatters who transformed the abandoned block into a vertical favela complete with grocery shops, tattoo parlours, internet cafes and a hair salon.

The evening will present the idea of integrated infrastructure, called Urban–Tool Box, a method and system of thinking designed to empower citizens and city building, as well as the research on innovative Metro-Cable San Agustin in Caracas, an urban cable car system featuring music, sports, and educational programs. The project was recently featured in the MoMA exhibition, “Small Scale–Big Change.”
