The methodology of the design of the proposal was based on architectural applications and social needs. The most basic are the carving on a canvas that allows standardization and flexibility, the continuous readjustment of the habitat according to the changes in ones living conditions after emergency situations, the polymorphism and flexibility in the configuration of the preconstruction, the extension of the habitat in a neighborhood scale and the facilitation of social contact by means of collective dwelling.
The housing complex is indicatively located in Spata area with direct access to Rafina port and Athens airport. The configuration of the surrounding area is based on the carving of the canvas of the housing complexes floor plan and consists of roads and parts of arable soil.
It is about a metal vector which consists of a parking space at ground level, three floors with building units, and a roof with units of collective cultivation. Each floor consists of motion aisles and two "plot" zones. At the four ends of each floor there are plots 4m x 8m in which public areas are situated (stairwell, services, markets and cafeterias), while in the remainder 10 plots 6m x 8m, houses are placed.
The target is to quickly and directly address the needs for housing through the process of mass customization.That solution would not involve a finite number of standard model homes, but an automated manufacturing process of individual parts/components that make up the house. The house, based on an isometric canvas per 1m and according to the dwellers needs, is assembled on location.
The houses are divided according to square meters, into one floor, two floor and one floor which occupy two plots and have an inner courtyard and at the same time according to their functional program, into "day use" (emphasis in places to be used during the day) into overnight houses (emphasis on places to be used during the night) and houses that the square meters are distributed equally.
