Abstract

Design and direction of the building process of a Social Housing Project. Built at the lowest construction rate in the European Union at the time, this social housing project managed to transform a row house typology into an individual housing courtyard typology as a result of using the sloping conditions. The construction avoided the typical reinforced concrete structure commonly used in this kind of developments in favour of a load bearing thermal brick structure around the courtyard, that is, moving away from the flexible solutions that so often end up in messy housing configurations.
