New housing system in the woods . Europan 11 . Almere

The purpose of this proposal is to generate a new housing system in the woods that suggests a different way of relationship and integration with nature.

We intend to develop a configuration that avoids cartoonish approaches to what ‘living in nature’ means and propose a contemporary way of adaptation to the environment. The intervention is understood as a temporary sequence in phases that articulate the area. Each phase complements the previous phase and provides new possibilities. In this way the infrastructure can grow without a crucial morphological transformation thus generating an open composition that regulates its size and shape based on the status of the intervention.
