Abstract
The project itself work as a conclusion of the research and design balance. After several improvements, now it puts in discussion the outcomes of the housing redevelopment strategy. Instead of offering a different alternative to the existing redevelopment trend, it raises questions about what to do with the old redevelopments proposals. How to deal with the profitable outcomes? Should be the housing solutions considered as a commodity? If the answer is positive, how one should deal with the consequences? The thesis proposal offers a trade-off that more than focus on profit, tries to improve the current living conditions of the redevelopment outcomes.
