As a consequence os the tremendous recession we are facing, unemployed people have started to offer their work through the network in exchange for other benefits, assistances, skills, thus creating a time market in which the hour becomes the exchange unit. Somehow this original system helps people to cope with the difficult situation we are in.
This is how the Time Bank emerged, a place where this service exchange could be materialized without the need of economic intervention.
The programme depends at all times on the demand and the citizen training and its flexible quality requires a polyvalent building in which the space manipulation from the design will allow the adaptation to the different activities that may take place in it.
