Climatic Thresholds:
More-than-social Housing
This architecture project proposes a novel approach to social housing in
a rural area experiencing demographic decline. The design introduces a
multifamily housing typology that harmoniously blends with the rural
landscape, aiming to revitalize the community by attracting residents
who value the tranquility and health of countryside living. The central
theme of the project is the integration of vegetation as a vital link
between communal living and a close relationship with nature. This
connection is manifested through extensive green roofs, communal
gardens, and landscaped paths that encourage interaction among residents
and foster a symbiotic relationship with the natural environment. The
architectural layout is crafted to enhance social cohesion while
providing private spaces that offer views of the surrounding
countryside. This project not only addresses the need for housing but
also aims to rejuvenate the area by leveraging the inherent benefits of
rural life, promoting sustainability, and enhancing biodiversity.
