Abstract

A community for young people to settle down in the city, where they can meet friends and enjoy a happy balanced life. It provides living facilities with quality as well as possibilities for social life. A natural controllable indoor climate and a flexible structure system are integrated within the design which achieves good integration of the architectural elements and the energy-efficient system. It advocates natural ventilation and using natural resources. The concrete megastructure acts as the first layer to support the building while the infilling wooden elements create different spaces based on the function, and they can be moved to a new position if the future function changed. So that the flexible structure system provides small spaces for living as well as big spaces for social events and working.
