This workshop proposes collective social housing for fisherpeople in Iceland. The project adapts an existing housing project in Amsterdam to the Icelandic context. Key changes include maximizing sunlight through winter courtyards used as intermediate spaces between the interior and exterior. Maintaining visual and physical connections to the exterior while developing housing inward around shared courtyards provides quality housing suited to Iceland's extreme cold climate.
The document discusses the history and development of a new technology called blockchain. Blockchain first emerged with bitcoin, an electronic currency system. It has since expanded and can now be used to track the sale of securities and other digital assets. Blockchain creates a shared, immutable record of data that is maintained across a network of individual computers.
This project explores climate-responsive collective housing in Barcelona, Spain. It is divided into two stages: 1) Developing a modular unit that responds to Barcelona's climate conditions, including wind patterns, solar orientation, and humidity. The module proposes a compact, thermally massive interior surrounded by a light, vegetation-wrapped structure. 2) Using the module to develop a 20-unit commune with shared spaces. The structure incorporates concrete, wood, and prefabricated modular units. Each unit maintains the bioclimatic strategies of the module. The entire building envelope will be covered in vines and plants that change with the seasons. Commercial spaces on the ground floor will connect to the city. The modular design allows the project to be fully recycled

The document provides a summary of a master's project focused on collective housing. It discusses the context of the project site in Madrid, Spain, which is a large urban regeneration project called Madrid Nuevo Norte that aims to transform the northern part of the city. The summary then analyzes the surrounding neighborhoods and transportation infrastructure, existing land uses, and borders of the site. Finally, it presents the vision, goals and design strategies for the project, which utilize a city science approach to address challenges in areas such as social integration, environment, resources, and more.
The first step was to analyze the existing towers and their
context. We looked at their location, orientation, structure, materials,
etc. This allowed us to understand their potential and limitations.
Team: We chose two adjacent towers located near a large park. One
was in good condition while the other was abandoned and in ruins.

Duration: 10 lessons.
The aim of this module was to understand the interrelation between climate, metabolism and architecture through the design of a climatic commune in Barcelona. The exercise consisted on the design of a housing complex based on the principles of climatic adaptation, passive strategies, energy efficiency and circular metabolism.
The project was developed through different scales, from the urban insertion and masterplan to the architectural design of a housing block and its details. Across this process, the integration of passive strategies, renewable energies, materials selection, construction techniques, waste management were key aspects to achieve a net zero energy building inserted in a circular urban metabolism.

The document presents a design project for collective housing in Kiev, Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion. The project proposes modular housing units that can be rapidly constructed in various locations around the city, including metro stations, underground parking structures, and bomb craters. Each modular unit is based on standard Soviet-era housing dimensions and can accommodate up to 30 people organized into "tribes" that share common facilities. The modules are designed to be reusable and adaptable to changing needs during the ongoing conflict.
The document provides information about Hector Herrera's current education and master's program at UPM/ETH Zurich in Collective Housing. It then provides a table of contents and index for the rest of the document, which outlines workshops and specialties covered in the program related to housing, city, and energy studies. The focus of the unique program is on the excellence and practice-oriented synthesis of design integrated with theoretical issues of dwelling and housing.
The document summarizes the S01 specialty on Climate, Metabolism & Architecture led by Dr. Javier García-Germán. It includes details on the syllabus, location of Barcelona, climatic features, cultural references, a prototype housing scheme, and unit/building behavior strategies. The 20-unit housing scheme in Barcelona explores passive design strategies for winter heating, summer cooling, and temperate stability through building orientation, green spaces, and unit features.
The document summarizes a Master's program in Collective Housing at the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid and ETH Zurich. It describes several specializations within the program, including Low Resources & Emergency Housing, Climate Metabolism & Architecture, and City Sciences. For the Low Resources specialization, the document outlines a workshop project developing transitional shelters in Lombonga Village, Indonesia following an earthquake. It provides details on the village context, proposed shelter designs, and project implementation plan.
The project involved transforming the Picasso Tower in Madrid from offices to housing for digital nomads. The tower originally had 47 identical floors of offices which was rigid and repetitive. To adapt it for digital nomads, the strategies were to reduce the interior core to open up more space, create a variety of unique spaces on different floors, and perforate the structural facade for connection to the exterior. The goal was to furnish the building with temporary productive apartments and complementary vertical urban spaces to attract digital nomads to Madrid by providing an urban experience within the high-rise building.
The document discusses a proposal to revitalize an abandoned military base area in the Campamento district of Madrid. The area became disconnected from surrounding neighborhoods due to the A5 highway dividing the district. Rather than burying the highway for financial reasons, the proposal embraces the highway and aims to better integrate the area. The proposal is set on the site of the former military base just 2km from downtown Madrid. The goal is to promote public health and quality of life for residents by prioritizing access to services, transportation, green spaces, and social/economic opportunities.
The project proposes housing for 2000 refugees in Kyaka II, Uganda. It aims to provide stability and resilience through transitional/semi-permanent residences using local materials. Facilities like schools, medical clinics and markets would be developed in phases centered around public spaces for security. Housing clusters are organized with gardens, shared workspaces and commercial streets for income generation. Sustainable features like rainwater collection, cross-ventilation and solar power address needs with minimal resources.
This document summarizes a research project analyzing the housing situation in the Puerta del Ángel neighborhood of Madrid, Spain. As the neighborhood became more integrated into the city following improvements like burying the M-30 highway and constructing the Madrid Río riverfront park, housing prices rose and gentrification began. The research aims to address economic, social and political issues facing the neighborhood to propose architectural interventions that can improve conditions for residents.
This document summarizes a proposal for merging the urban area of Campamento in Madrid, Spain with surrounding nature. It begins with an analysis of the site's context, transportation connections, and opportunities to improve biodiversity and disconnect the existing urban fabric. The proposal is presented in four phases, with the final phase showing an elevated pedestrian pathway connecting different sections of the urban artery. References are provided of similar projects integrating urban and natural areas through elevated walkways in New York, Medellín, and Cali. The proposal aims to minimize intervention and concentrate internal logistics to merge the city with nature through the urban artery.

This document discusses climate and architecture in Barcelona, Spain. It analyzes the Mediterranean climate, comparing winter and summer conditions. Photos show how people inhabit public spaces differently depending on clothing and weather. Research focused on beaches as equalizing public spaces. Psychrometric charts visualize climate data. Diagrams explore the barraca housing typology and its passive climate strategies. Maps depict local building material sources like timber forests and rammed earth quarries, along with construction waste recycling. The document examines the tectonics, climate responsiveness and material metabolism of vernacular Barcelona architecture.
The document describes a student housing project in Barcelona that focuses on responding to the local Mediterranean climate. A prototype unit was designed with materials and features to provide both thermal mass for temperature regulation and ventilation for humidity control. Key passive strategies included shading, natural ventilation openings, and a mix of heavy and light construction materials. The prototype was then replicated and organized into a larger communal housing development. Parameters were established to maintain the climatic performance at the larger scale through features like separation of unit types and orientation of openings. The goal was to create thermally varied indoor microclimates within the overall structure.
The document provides details about Juanita Gómez Márquez's master's project in collective housing at the Master in Collective Housing program. It includes information about her workshops, professors, groups, projects in different locations exploring housing and collective typologies. Some of the project titles and locations mentioned are "Housing and Reuse: A Solution for Good Conditions of Life" in Zürich, "Working + Living Structures" in Poblenou, Barcelona, "Ordinary and Life: Mediterranean Spral Housing in Kila" in Split
El documento describe el proceso de diseño y modelado de un prototipo estructural en forma de árbol utilizando una impresora 3D.

This document summarizes a housing and reuse workshop held in Zurich, Switzerland. The workshop explored reusing an existing industrial site owned by Swiss railways rather than demolishing and rebuilding. Students developed a "mat building" concept of modular housing units that could be customized and expanded over time in a flexible way.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

By the People
The site is truly a democratic approach of adhering to a city and its people. The lack of open
spaces in these dense neighbourhoods that became a part of the city’s history, is a question raised
in many apart from Madrid. The ‘Coralla’ Housing typology is a response to this need of density
and social mixing of a city fabric.
The community joined hands to reclaim the lungs of their neighbourhood and reclaim the lost
green. The place had an essence of community participation, responsibility towards nature and
its understanding, respect for each other and the need for creating a heathy environment for the
kids to grow.
“It is a community garden and a plaza auto constructed by our own people who believe in
ecological practices and stand together for common well. This is a place for sharing and
experimenting these values, a public space for everyone.” responded a neighbour.
It is an oasis in narrow dense lanes, rejuvenating it.
We as designers understand our responsibility towards the community and its efforts in time.
Our attempt to bring in residential and studio spaces for artists to grow together, is a belief that it
willaddtotheenergyoftheneighbourhoodgarden.Understandingthesiteanditssurroundings,
we try to gently intervene with the built mass encompassing the garden at its core, connecting
the two streets, and activating the public space by making it accessible, and gently dwelling into
the streetscape.
The material palette draws itself from the community practises observed with the use of timber
and stone, to reduce the ecological impact that this intervention would make. The traditional

and we want to take this idea ahead with the benefits it proved over an era.
Introduction of studio spaces for a mix group of artists and art forms, stages an opportunity
for collaborations and mutual learning. The building acts as a backdrop for these activities to
flourish, providing the flexibility in its interior spaces, services and most importantly ample
daylight and air. The flexible precast practice is adapted here to allow the artist to contemplate
their own space and lighting conditions suitable to their work.
The design creates a framework that allow opportunities of adaptation, customization, and
collaboration for the community to flourish.

13. Housing and reuse
”A solution for good
conditions of life”
Building a system for free appropiation
The only constant in contemporary society is
change.
Globalization, pandemics, isolation, disruptive technologies, and economic crisis constantly
force people to adapt to daily changes. For cities and housing to meet the expectations of an ever-
changing society, they should share the same adaptative capacity as their users through time.
Housing should allow flexibility and adaptiveness, to become an extension of who we are and
how we live, thus reflecting our identity and hosting our needs.
Housing should not feel temporary, it should be flexible enough to keep the pace with us, as we
constantly change, grow, and develop.
Housing should give freedom for intimacy without isolating inhabitants.
It should provide comfort for the ways of living of different individuals, as well as it should
reinforce the collectiveness and connection with its surroundings.
Key qualities:

30. Ordinariness and life
“Our basic argument is that there isn’t any such thing
as a building. A building properly conceived is several
layers of longevity of built components.”
Frank Duffy
The urban-to-rural transition zone is constantly widening and blurring due to urban sprawl and
the increasing trends of suburbanization and deurbanization that it entails. Lefebvre ascribes
modern urban sprawl to the ominous, but meaningful,
neologism: the Rurban. By the term “rurban areas” we define former rural areas, which have a
temporal distance from the city center, corresponding to areas that belong to the urban fabric,
thus forming spatial complexes of daily activity that produce a territory that is neither a city nor
a village.

43. Spain
The climates in Spain are difficult to classify because
of their widely varying nature, it is possible to
distinguish the following types: Atlantic or Oceanic
Climate, Continental Climate, Mediterranean
Climate and Mediterranean Mountain Climate.
Catalonia Community
Catalonia encompasses the northeastern provinces
of Girona, Barcelona, Tarragona, and Lleida. The
coastal area has a Mediterranean climate, with mild
winters and hot summers.
Further inland, the climate is more continental, with
cold winters and very hot summers. Snowy winters
and mild temperatures in summer are features of the
climate high in the mountains to the north.
Psychometric chart - January15
The chart shows how the principal problem in winter is that temperature is too low to have a comfortable situation
outside. Humidity can get a little high as well at some times.
Barcelona Province
The climate is Mediterranean, with mild, relatively
rainy winters and hot, sunny summers, during
which the air is humid, but tempered by the
breeze. However, cold periods are possible in
winter, especially in the northern part, where it can
sometimes snow. In summer, there can be very hot
periods, which are more likely in the southern part,
with peaks of 40 °C and more, while the central-
northern part of the coast up to Barcelona is quite
sheltered from heat waves.
Barcelona Region
The climate of Barcelona is Mediterranean, with
mild, relatively rainy winters and hot, sunny
summers. The monthly average temperature ranges
from 9 °C in January to 25 °C in August. Its humidity
is pretty high, especially in summer, where you find
average relative humidity of around 80%. Wind
streams directions and speed vary a lot depending
on the season, cool gusts of wind from the sea
pacify the extremity of Barcelona summer, but harsh
winds from the north can make tougher conditions
for the winters.
Psychothermic chart - July 16
The chart shows that temperature in summer is pretty close to the comfort zone, but humidity is too high. So in this
season it is important to find ways to dry the atmosphere.
84 85
44. Winter outside.
Outside conditions can be harsh with very low
temperature and cold winds. Sun is very desirable.
Summer outside.
Temperature outside can be comfortable in
summer. Nevertheless, direct sun increases the
temperature of the skin and humidity is too high, so
the sweat can not be evaporated. For this reason,
shade and cool streams of wind are very desirable.
Winter inside.
Architecture can protect from harsh cold winds and,
if well oriented, open up to the sun from the south,
east and west. High inertia materials can store the
heat and slowly give it to the interior.
Summer inside.
Architecture in summer can help a lot to create a
comfortable atmosphere. With a well insulated roof
that prevents the sun from hitting the inside and
openings that allow the cool wind streams to cross
the interior to cool it down and dry it, the result can
be a very comfortable space.

52. From Copenhagen to
Santa Marta
Cold to hot, rich to poor.
The objective is to present an architectural strategy to adapt MVRDV’s conversion of the
Gemini Residences to a new climatic context. Based on an analysis of the local climate, social
structure and economy, the silos located in the port of Santa Marta are selected and a strategy
for the construction process is presented, taking into account the available resources and
existing industries. It was decided to industrialize most of the building, minimizing on-site
work and taking advantage of the location of the silos that allow assembly from the port itself.
To preserve its original DNA we propose agile adjustments that maintain its essential
characteristics. The original project is a radical reconversion located in a port area where the
structural limitations of the silos lead the intervention to combine certain openings, restricted
and complex, in the old concrete cylinders with the desire to maintain the quality of the interior
void. The floors of the apartments, then, are suspended from the exterior, allowing each dwelling
to benefit from the best horizons and maximum flexibility. A relocation from Copenhagen,
Denmark to the coastal city of Santa Marta, Colombia is thus proposed. Changes in the
dimensional characteristics of the building, such as unit sizes, height between floors, envelope
performance or reinterpretation of the first floor, according to the new needs are based on a
diagnosis after analyzing the local climate, social structure and economy.
102 103
53. The layout of the units responds carefully to the calculation of the eaves necessary to prevent
the sun’s rays from entering the interior of the apartments and to provide the essential shade on
the private balconies. For this purpose, movable elements are provided that make it possible to
provide shade at different times of the day.
