Living side by size rethinking the threshold between home and the city
Davide Antolini | Matteo Leverone | Simone Marzorati with the supervision of Prof. Lorenzo Consalez and Arch. Marco Jacomella
Housing needs no longer fit in with the built heritage, because of deep and wide changes in today’s society
Why ?
Socio - Economic problems
Socio - Demographic problems
Flexible and precarious jobs
Transformation of the traditional family forms
How does it affect housing ?
Existing situation
Wished situation
Oversized apartments if compared to the average salary lead to unaffordable housing
Variety of housing sizes and users reflects new needs
How to get an innovative affordable house ?
Sharing the in-between
“Architects should (...) incorporate social and urban cohesion in residential buildings (...) and finally be able to create an architectural intimacy that generates a sense of community� Hertzberger H.,Territori Europei dell’abitare: 1990-2010
Where in-between ?
between the city
between the neighboorhood
between housing
Theoretical research: “Affordable Housing: Domesticity Reloaded” final exhibition, january 2020
