Target Group - Students Common characteristics

Partyer- extrovert - unhealthy

oo Huge variety in students and their habits ЄЄ Chaotic study hours ЄЄ Sports ЄЄ Hobbies ЄЄ Eating meals on different time periods ЄЄ Social or non-social ЄЄ Healthy/unhealthy

Nerd-introvert-unhealthy

oo Relatively short stay (3-10 years) oo Relatively long amounts of time away from home (traveling, minor, weekends with the parents, association activities, etc). oo Adapt to circumstances oo Low income either loan, parental funding or job oo Huge fluctuations in expenditure (partying, holidays, new hobbies, books, etc).

Common co-habitation characteristic Positives oo Relatively low rent, sharing expensive functions ЄЄ Higher function/m2 ratio if ЄЄ Affordable shared luxury functions oo Lower expenses on food consumption - Buying in bulk oo Sharing labor (cleaning, urban farming, cooking, etc) oo More shared experiences - strengthen relationships oo More shared knowledge oo Ability to share secondary necessities (bicycles, car, books, tools, etc)

Negatives oo Cooperation / making comprises is required for a healthy living environment. oo Hard to focus/sleep due to noise problems oo The lack privacy can results in personal conflict

Core design aspects Separating study from relaxing

Community between housing

oo Reduces personal conflict

oo Share knowledge or experiences oo Divide labor; growing, cooking, building etc.

Relax

or

oo Be part of something bigger than yourself!

Study

Give more control on privacy

More control on expenditure

oo Multiple common areas oo Ability to expand or shrink private rooms

oo Give space to grow their own food/spices oo Make rent a variable oo Negate materialistic point of view

oo Control on visual privacy from outside

Sharing space Between Private rooms - negotiation process

Between Private and shared space - Real time

Reconfiguring spaces results in oo oo oo oo

Dilemma lower rent vs. more stuff More control on privacy.

Less clutter = Less distractions = More time to spend on things that matter.

The design ‘trains’ students to become cleaner and less materialistic

?

Reconfigurable environments

oo Private walls require a modular build to make it personal. oo Should still act as an acoustic barrier (diagram).

e rag

oo Can be integrated with different functionalities such as: kitchen, table, benches, bed, desk, storage, etc.

Storage

oo Should be easy to use both manually and robotically!

Sto

oo Allows for compact living - with high amount of privacy.

Both robotic & manually operated Constraint to a single location Can completely disappear Suspension is a necessity

Manually operated Constraint to a floor level Allows for quick changes Not suitable for big objects

Reconfigurable space layout Radial

- Unpractical spaces no corners + Better views - Max 2 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding - Walls need to stretch

Hexagonal

- Non practical spaces - 120 degree corners + Max 6 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding

Linear

+ Practical spaces 90 degree corners - Max sharing of 2 neighbors + Ideal for sliding - Perpendicular walls need to stretch / slide out

Orthogonal

+ Practical spaces - 90 degree corners + Max 4 possible neighbors + Ideal for sliding and rotating

Sliding + Rotating

Practical space Can be manually & robotically moved Easy to use NO COLUMNS!!!!

Sliding + Rotating = Endless configurations!
