Re-imagine housing components, an approach to address affordability. The idea is to transform housing, explode it into single pieces or components and spread them around the city. The city would become your home by getting what you can afford or what you need. I am proposing to divide the common components of a home, bedroom and bathroom, kitchen, living room, laundry room, and offer a typology that allows you to acquire what you really need while offering the flexibility to rent and generate economic asset from the spaces that are yours but your are not using, for example I own a bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen, I will rent the kitchen while I do not use it. Flexibility, affordability, the city is your home.
Due to social distancing I decided to conduct a social media survey asking question to my followers about what they defined as a shelter or a home, if they rather rent or own, and when did they see themself owning. During class conversation we had a discussion about the future of housing someone brough up a reserach that mentioned that millenials or younger generation did not want to own, I had the theory it wasn't about wanting to own, it was about affordability and flexibility.
