The present thesis is a continuation of the research topic (Right Dwelling: Socio-Spatial Study of Social Housing Complexes in Trikala), linking it directly to the environments and residents we studied and observed. This proposal aims to create a design model of small houses (30-40 sqm) in a low rent offer (based on the current modern life and the financial difficulties we face as adults) based in the area of Sismoplikta of the Municipality of Trikala.
The proposed housing will meet the housing and needs of people of different age groups (including both young adults and older people) and will be for individual occupancy.
The work is divided into two main parts. The first is the building part, which involves the typology and program of the buildings (public and residential), taking into account the building factor (1.2), the morphology of the dwellings and the public uses of the area as a whole. And the second is the urban design of the complex, where we focus on integrating the proposal into the existing layout and characteristics of the area. In both parts, the needs of both the selected area and the residents who are to reside there are resolved. Thus, forming special spaces with a specific use in each building individually, as well as in the public space.
In the process of analyzing the proposal, questions will be answered regarding the choice of location, the needs that arose, elements we adopted from the pre-existing research, and the design principles we followed. Questions that will shape the design identity of the proposal. A set of concerns, where different paths were charted in the attempt to address them.
