PROGRESSIVE HOUSING
The project uses, as primary concept, the idea of a modular, adaptable and progressive housing unit, as means of reconstructing the cities of Syria. We embrace several scenarios in which the Unit may be aggregated into existing urban typologies, where the surroundings allow for the reconstruction of single building components, as well as become new morphological proposals for the severely damaged areas of the existing cities around the country.
The basic housing Units will be assembled by 3 components of modular dimensions of 3.5m2 x 3.5m2, and a half a module on the sides, to create a Semi-PATIO proposal for light and ventilation. The unit may then grow vertically and horizontally according to the needs of its background. This will mean that it will be able to adapt to an existing block by replacing a damaged structure, or create a completely new one into a denominated mega block aggregation building.
Now, the construction process works with a self-assembled procedure for the people to build. The government or state agency will guarantee a safe structural grid with vertical circulations to create homes under the designated spaces created in-between. This means that as time passes and more resources arrive the house may grow upwards if needed and wanted.
The base Unit will be of 49.5 m2 while the progressive Units will grow to a second stage of 99m2 and ultimately a third stage of 130.7m2. Aesthetically the self-assemble Units will become a nice form and finish. The low cost of the materiality will assemble effectiveness and efficiency, and will not by any chance mean cheap or unsafe
