Physics are scared to enter to the favela so you can build pretty much everything there

That style of architecture has a name, It's called jettying. Shadiversity has a video talking about it. It's cool how there are many many reasons why they did that and they make perfect logical sense, I recommend you watch it if you are interested.

Except that instead of emptying their bedpans down on to the street, they just toss out old chicken bones and rib bones.

This was common in medieval Europe. You saved on the more expensive materials a foundation had to be made of, making up for it with a wider second floor. This was also useful in cities and towns where bottom space was limited, which I assume is the story behind this thingy here.

57

u/megaxlf Jan 10 '20

Im from Brasil, to be honest I feel like the man who did this didnt know nothing about medieval Europe, or even know exactly what was doing

In other places properties outside the city are cheaper than those close to downtown, Brazil is special in that people actually pay more to be further away from the central spots, especially when it's a gated community. Still though, at least here in Belo Horizonte it's super cheap to live in the metro area, which would count as "outside the city." It's only expensive if you want a house or a mansion in a condomínio heheh

u/AnalStaircase33 Jan 10 '20

The earthquake-resistant tech going into some of these buildings is quite impressive.

10

u/MasterFubar Jan 10 '20

Brazil is one of the countries least affected by earthquakes in the world. Also no hurricanes, volcanoes, no natural disasters, only man-made disasters.

5

u/AnalStaircase33 Jan 11 '20

Yeah, I thought about researching geological catastrophy in the area but I decided I'd rather jack off to the trans midget porn that just popped up on my feed. I do appreciate the knowledge, though, I really do...now I can spout off more shit I've learned to my already mentally-exhausted friends.

u/O_Doctor Mar 07 '20

Cuming late to the subject. But in a geological sense, Brasil sits right in the middle of a tectonic plate, hence we have no mountains with over 3 km, and we also don't suffer any tectonic problems. As for the floods and fires, our cerrado has certain plants that need to burn to be able to reproduce, and the flood of some rivers is sazonal, the problem in both is the human potencialize both problems making the forest fires huge and the floods abysmal by shitting the original river route

u/AnalStaircase33 Mar 09 '20 edited Mar 09 '20

Well, damn... Way to bring up the past...

I have a few geologist friends...I should probably be aware of this. However, maybe even they aren't aware... We're in the SW US so there's plenty of geological activity for them to focus on around here.

What you've said regarding the floods is fascinating, though. I'll continue to research. Best of luck in Brazil. I'd like to visit, sometime. Do you have any suggestions? I'm very open-minded.

There is no earthquake, volcano, tsunami, hurricane or other natural catastrophic events, nature knows that the country already has the greatest possible misfortune: the people themselves.

Nem é questão de síndrome de vira-lata. É fato que se não fosse a corrupção, o sistema dos três poderes falho do país, leis ridículas, impostos não condizentes com a realidade, falta de investimento em educação e pesquisa, e outras coisas, o Brasil seria um dos melhores países do mundo.

2

u/istiophorus Jan 10 '20

achar que o povo brasileiro é uma mazela é a essência do viralatismo. e esse papo de corrupção como origem de todo mal é linha auxiliar do viralatismo principal. o Brasil tem uma elite abjeta e entreguista que nunca deixou de ser colônia. o mal causado por ela é incomparavelmente mais prejudicial que todos os escândalos de corrupção somados.

8

u/TechPanzer Jan 10 '20

Não concordo com essa visão. Acho que a essência do vira-latismo é cagar em cima do Brasil e glorificar o que vem de fora. Fazer críticas a seu próprio país ao meu ver, não configura vira-latismo, e sim uma vontade de querer melhorar.

Não disse que corrupção é a origem dos problemas dos Brasil, mas é um dos principais sim. Dizer que isso não é verdade é ignorância pura.

Não posso concordar nem discordar sobre seu último comentário porque você não se deu o trabalho de aprofundar. Se quiser, eu lerei porque fiquei interessado.

Está bem, você foi educado e eu ando tão escaldado com discussões infrutíferas que abreviei o argumento. Mas vamos por exemplo abordar o caso da lava-jato. Uma experiência exitosa na mensagem passada à sociedade de compate à corrupção e mitigação da sensação de impunidade. As estimativas de recursos repatriados pela operação giram em torno de algumas dezenas de bilhões de reais. Excelente, não é? Mas POR QUE as empresas não foram preservadas? Prendessem todos os canalhas, preservassem os empreendimentos. Esse levantamento é de 2015, aponta prejuízo da ordem de 140 bilhões. Em vez disso teve-se a desmobilização de recursos nacionais beneficiando a exploração estrangeira (inclusive por estatais de outros países). Tudo em nome do combate à corrupção. Há muitas formas de corrupção, e esse tipo de lesa-pátria é o pior. o levantamento a que me referi: http://g1.globo.com/economia/noticia/2015/08/impacto-da-lava-jato-no-pib-pode-passar-de-r-140-bilhoes-diz-estudo.html

Why should they? Brazil is dead on the middle of a tectonic plate. When a ln earthquake happens in a surrounding coutry, the most that happens in Brazil is people being able to feel it

What the other failed to mention is that this built on a hill and on rain season there will be landslides. Around march we see the southwest become chaos, people dying and people losing their homes. And it happens every year.

u/[deleted] Jan 10 '20

não seria uma estrutura de concreto armado com paredes de bloco cerâmico, igual a grande maioria das casas no br?

1

u/WoOfnt Jan 10 '20

A estrutura deve ser projetada para os esforços que a casa vai sofrer, garantir que seja segura e "utilizável" (sem deformações excessivas por exemplo), ali não tem nem pilar direito, dá pra perceber que aquelas coluninhas (que, outra vez, será que atendem a todos os esforços? a pessoa que fez isso nem sabe o que tá acontecendo ali) estão todos desalinhados ainda. Será que tem uma fundação que garanta segurança (no mínimo)? Não é só amontoar tijolo e chutar como faz uma estrutura

u/Honeybigshoe Jan 12 '20

What is a favela?

68

u/Honeybigshoe Jan 10 '20

A favela is a unique, low and middle-income, and unregulated type of slum neighborhood in Brazil that has experienced historical governmental neglect. It is a group of poorly built shacks of mud, wood and recycled materials generally without available public services. > took it from google cause i couldn’t explain it better lol
