ARCHmedium annuncia il lancio di un nuovo concorso di architettura indirizzato a studenti e giovani laureati per esplorare nuove tipologie di housing sociale nell'ambito dello sviluppo consolidato del centro di Barcellona, sempre più intensamente caratterizzato da case vuote e dalla mancanza di alloggi in affitto.
L'intento della competizione è quello di garantire la funzione sociale delle abitazioni attraverso un ripensamento dello spazio abitativo. Le proposte dovranno concentrarsi su un edificio adibito a uffici da convertire in alloggi in affitto.
ARCHmedium is pleased to announce its new architectural competition for students and young graduates: Barcelona Social Housing.
Barcelona is going through a moment of housing emergency where 40% of the purchases of flats are made only to invest and the increase of tourist apartments exponentially increases the price of rents. There are large numbers of empty homes and the lack of rental housing makes the neighbors forced to move, a phenomenon known as gentrification.
Barcelona City Council considers access to housing a priority and is implementing policies to increase these figures.
Sensitive to this problem, from ARCHmedium we invite students and young architects to explore new typologies about social housing in a consolidated environment in the center of Barcelona. We propose the transformation of an existing office building from the 20th century to social housing.
The objective of the competition is to guarantee the social function of housing through rethinking the housing space. Proposals must explore new typologies and urban ways to respond to the program and improve the scope of intervention. The intervention must meet the highest environmental criteria, seeking a low energy consumption.
We propose the transformation of an office building located to public rental housing.
