LOW COST TEMPORARY HOUSING
The theme of the proposal was to create a low cost innovative and urban hospitality designed to temporarily host city users during the various events in Milan, such as Expo 2015. The concept of flexibility and temporarily led the proposal towards a parallelepiped steel preformed structure. The structure is located outside to create a modular structural system. The idea fits into a green open space such as a park or, thanks to the modularity and the assembly of more cells can be placed in an urban setting.
