HOME
Our home is now in the city which is compacted and mixed up, which grows inwards and is renewed. We are returning to the historic city, to the modern city, to the post-industrial city, we are re-densifying the expansive city of the last decade. We are regenerating the narrow plots of the medieval urban grids, the 19th century urban extensions and the new-old cities of the 60s. We are returning to the built-up city driven by the need to save on resources, but this return cannot be a reluctant one.
Nuestra casa está ahora en la ciudad que se compacta y se mezcla, que crece hacia adentro y se renueva. Volvemos a la ciudad histórica, a la ciudad moderna, a la ciudad posindustrial, redensificamos la ciudad expansiva de la última década. Regeneramos los lotes estrechos de las tramas medievales, los ensanches decimonónicos y a las nuevas-viejas ciudades de los 60. Volvemos a la ciudad construida empujados por la necesidad de ahorrar recursos, pero este retorno no puede ser a regañadientes.
Density is Home echoes these types of city -dispersed, expansive, modern, the core of the city and the recycled city- through 37 projects on collective housing. 14 case studies have been extracted among them in order to analyze the desirable home.
