  1. I believe that the Superillas are a great example of what modern-day sustainable design should be all about. Using the infrastructure that we are already provided with and making something useful out of it.
  2. The Superillas can also be looked at as a new type of vernacular architecture. We could take Superillas and design them accordingly depending on the site and surrounding context. For example, a Superillas in Barcelona, could very much be way more different than one in Portland, Oregon.
  3. When looking at a city like Eugene or Portland, which are both located in the Pacific Northwest, how could the use of Superillas differ here than in Barcelona (where they have a Mediterranean climate)?
