New streets, utilities, six wells, and 72 dome dwellings, as well as stores, a school, and a mosque are part of the redevelopment.

SANTIAGO, CHILE VILLAGE RELOCATION PROJECT
Santiago, Chile
Owner: Barry Cohen

The city of Santiago has a large area north-east of the city filled with slums and transient people looking for shelter.  This feasibility study addressed not treating the problem in place but building an adjacent village for relocation of the existing distressed people.  The project included typical village layout with utilities, streets, central square, commercial district, power station, and monolithic dome homes.  Both plans and models were submitted for approval to help clarify the project design.  In addition, medical centers are planned for five locations within the country.  Funding for the project is still pending.

QATAR KINDERGARTEN
Country of Qatar
Owner: Roger McMurray, Construction Manager

This feasibility study was to demonstrate the use of a monolithic concrete structure for primary schools at five locations.  Two types of schools were requested especially designed for the Arab culture, teaching methods, and for the middle east climate.  Adoptions were made from existing drawings to show design possibilities and for "bill of quanities" estimates.  Both 6-classroom and 12-classroom designs were submitted.  Local engineering firms were consulted to design grated and drainage, utilities and landscape placement.  Several exterior designs were considered showing strong Moorish influence.
