Performative Housing For Self-Sufficient Communities

Surpassing the rhetoric of sustainable design, an ecological approach is needed to respond to the environmental crisis and the effects of climate change on contemporary society. Therefore, this research investigates how to develop energy- and water-sufficient community housing for affordable solutions, evolve traditional bioclimatic design principles, and integrate advanced methods in architecture. The results will be an innovative proposal for an information-based design process through an experimental approach at the scale of the collective housing.
