Abstract
The purpose of the research, considering the above data, is to study a new housing model that can squeeze a city portion and make it live on his own relationships, human and economic, in continuous connection with the outside world: the city, like a software can be updated through plug-ins. The experimentation takes place at the Tower of London in London, an area affected by recent urban expansion projects, which can be defined as "urban emptiness". The social housing becomes common thread between the parties: an "urban emptiness" to densify through an "open" system, ready to reconnect to other empty spaces and leaving permeable contact with the surrounding urban web. The creation of a social network made up of houses, space between the houses and productive places is seen and developed as a urban "component" required to respond to the problems listed above. Housing becomes the instrument through which "rethink" residential housing system by introducing temporal and social set of variables so far unknown as a unique opportunity to define a "new habitat" not only able to provide a service but to ensure human and social relationships,.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
