COMO LEER UN PLANO is a short simple booklet which explains the very basics of how to read an architect's drawing. In a series of large simple drawings using very little text, the different aspects of a drawing, that is, the plan, front elevation, side elevation, etc., are described. It is very suitable for use with people who have limited reading skills. It serves as an introduction for communities and could be used with a talk by the project architect to enable the participants, at a very general level, to become familiar with architect's language and symbols used in plans.

MEJORAMIENTO POBLACIONAL is an attractively illustrated booklet which raises some of the key issues in settlements upgrading and house improvement and explains how, by organizing together, communities can do much to improve their houses and neighbourhoods. It discusses the problems associated with cold, wind, rain and heat and the problems which arise owing to lack of proper maintenance. Having identified these problem areas, it offers some simple, low-cost solutions. This booklet could be used in housing-improvement programmes in the form of a handout to participants, after group discussion with technical personnel.
