Architecture is constantly reinventing itself in the face of social changes without losing beauty.
Although we may not realize it, when there are social changes, architecture adapts, reinvents itself, molds itself to satisfy new needs. We are not talking about the architect or the driver who necessarily has a dark future, we look at architecture itself, at its forms and new ways of understanding the container and content.
The cursed word "Crisis" It is so sharp and truthful that it achieves that the concept of housing is renewed for a less ostentatious, less spectacular, less meters but more detail, the simple and practical, the comfortable and the economic, but without ceasing to lose that beauty that provides the architecture before the eyes of the beholder. Now we already know what material value is, one euro, the no-return bond, and we choose and we will opt for less ballast, freer, few, small and quality goods according to our battered pocket.
Faced with a conscious change, the modular concept and prefabricated houses are emerging with more force than ever, possibly sacrificing meters of privacy without losing the splendor and perfection of our dream home at undoubtedly viable prices, providing us with a reasonable quality of life.
A modular home built from recycled pallets, a sustainable solution that each website has more followers. We can access to see different projects based on mini houses with construction of wooden pallets from HEREor a concept of a cube - concrete tube, with IKEA furniture or the already mentioned houses with maritime containers such as the «Minimod house» with a spectacular design:
Wood as a material that claims a greater role in construction given its status of economic, noble and sustainable viability adapts to mini houses with concepts that go beyond traditional thinking. We can recognize the concept"Exbury Egg"literally an egg that navigates and at the same time, house:
The change or way of adapting architecture to a new way of life is being so radical that buildings are ceasing to be simple containers of individual rooms, prioritizing the container that bets on communication and community participation, leaving aside less privacy and more. common areas where interacting with neighbors is premium. Sharing has an economic background that becomes less expense. It is called"Collective housing or Co-housing" Communities of use or housing cooperatives practice new forms of collaborative housing where resources are shared, co-responsibility is practiced, the thirst for community is fed, ways of participating are designed and it is managed autonomously and horizontally. An interesting portal that encourages participation ismasqueunacasa.org.
New concepts appear and are renewed such as the “Earthships”Houses built with materials from the area - whether they are recycled or not so much - with the own hands of their inhabitants who respect the environment and who, thanks to current technologies, acquire a "Near perfect sustainability". He denies the urban environment, the decadence of cities in order to open the sale and see nature in all its splendor. The land is respected and homes are built to care for its inhabitants.
Mortals are no longer interested in having a house "spectacular" if the result is a chained life, of continuous payment without being able to simply live … life!
