Zusammenfassung:	Torre David, a 45-story skyscraper in Caracas, has remained uncompleted since the Venezuelan economy collapsed in 1994. Today, it is the improvised home to more than 750 families living in an extra-legal and tenuous squat that some have called a "vertical slum". - Urban-Think Tank spent over a year studying the physical and social organization of this ruin-become home. This research resulted in the Golden Lion-winning installation at the 13th International Architecture Exhibition - la Biennale di Venezia. Now, this book richly illustrated with photographs by Iwan Baan, documents the residents' occupation of the tower and how, in the absence of formal infrastructure, they organize themselves to provide for daily needs.
