Housing has always been the main programme in which our cities have developed and evolved. It is the stage and the "playground" that architecture has used over the years as a tool for progress and the search for new ways of living and understanding our society over time. In a way, housing has served as a common ground for people's lives in a society that deserves constant reflection for a future that is reconfigured at every moment.
Generally, flexibility in housing is associated with mobile elements that allow interior spaces to be related to each other or to transform their dimensions to accommodate new activities within the room. Nevertheless, the fixed elements that allow the structuring of the pieces that serve for different uses establishes an understanding of flexibility from the point of view of time. But, there is another more conventional way, which associates the flexibility of the pieces of the dwelling with the regularity and homogeneity of the structure.
The research in progress aims to delve into the spatial structure of housing in the search for a democratic language of the different pieces that make up the contemporary dwelling to encourage the functional indeterminacy of domestic spaces for a flexible, adaptable and transformable dwelling over time that adapts to the different socio-economic needs of the user. We will address the idea of the creation of a "domestic structure" around a series of main concepts: functional ambiguity, plural accessibility, punctual specialisation...
The concepts to be developed in this research seek to highlight the need to understand housing as the construction of a system or support that allows the free appropriation of space adaptable to different social and economic profiles. The sustainable development of the city, understood from the point of view of housing and the construction of infrastructures that allow the recycling of buildings and understand them as productive living organisms for life and work.
