An alternative social housing project

Abstract

This project was originally presented to the public national competition Caixa - IAB Award 2006 and intended to be a qualified alternative to what has been built in our country in the social housing field. Accordingly, the project provides solutions not just to the individual residential units but also for the whole set of units, conforming buildings, and their relationships with the surroundings. The examples we know of in our country, in most cases, are unable to solve these two points concurrently: whether the residential units have quality but the urbanistic aspect of the whole is poor or the whole is qualified but the units are not.
