Equipotential Space in Housing as a Strategy for Adaptability

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

Architecture must provide answers, in the domestic realm, to the constant and vertiginous change in contemporary society’s needs and lifestyles. For this reason, we propose to examine the concept of 'adaptability' in housing based on the study of a series of projects in which we find a specific arrangement of rooms, which we call 'equipotential' or 'checkered' space. This configuration favors the generation of an open logic of relations between spaces, and acts as a mechanism that prepares the house for adaptability, allowing us to conceive it as an open, elective, dynamic and combinatory playing field.
