Il team spagnolo di reTH!NKING ha lanciato un nuovo concorso di architettura internazionale per progettare un alloggio adattabile a colui che lo abita e flessibile alle nuove esigenze lungo il corso della vita.

Housing was not conceived thinking about changes in family structures, but currently we can see the great deversity: people who live alone, couples without children, couples with one child, group of people who share an apartment, families who take care for an elderly person and so on. How can housing bring in all these changes?

What kind of housing do you propose?
