Questione di spazi, al centro ci sono le persone.

La casa è sempre meno specializzata. Gli spazi e le soluzioni distributive devono interpretare usi diversi nel corso della giornata e delle stagioni.

In base alla richiesta del committente ho cercato di definire uno spazio di vita che fosse variabile durante l’arco della giornata. L’appartamento è composto da una cucina, una zona giorno, due bagni e due camere da letto.

Un elemento di arredo fisso funge da guardaroba e da armadiatura, dividendo lo spazio in diversi ambienti. Questo elemento puo’ essere fruito da entrambi i lati, in base alle esigenze.

Lo spazio centrale del corridoio è l’elemento d’unione tra la zona giorno e la zona notte.

A Manifesto for Smart Citizens

humanscalecities:

(…)

Smart Citizens:

  • Will take responsibility for the place they live, work and love in;
  • Value access over ownership, contribution over power;
  • Will ask forgiveness, not permission;
  • Know where they can get the tools, knowledge and support they need;
  • Value empathy, dialogue and trust;
  • Appropriate technology, rather than accept it as is;
  • Will help the people that struggle with smart stuff;
  • Ask questions, then more questions, before they come up with answers;
  • Actively take part in design efforts to come up with better solutions;
  • Work agile, prototype early, test quickly and know when to start over;
  • Will not stop in the face of seemingly huge boundariesbarriers;
  • Unremittingly share their knowledge and their learning, because they know this is where true value comes from.
