Abstract

Nowadays more and more people lose their home due to bad luck, like a divorce, a calamity in their dwelling or economic problems. There is no proper place for these people to go to, so with this design I wanted to make one.
A family with children should be placed as easily as a single person, so flexibility is a mayor issue in this project. To generate this flexibility, the buildings are made cylindrical, apartments can be joint or used separately, and there is a certain flexibility within the apartments.
