Final Review: Bachelor Project "Stitching-in - Multi-occupancy in Sendling"

Final Review of the Bachelor Project Stitching-in - Multi-occupancy in Sendling at the Chair of Urban Design and Housing.

About the project:
Historically, the need and desire for community has driven the way human societies have organised themselves. In the last fifty years aspirations in the Western world have shifted towards individualism to a degree that has become unsustainable. Today there is both a need and a demand for a wider range of options for those living alone, including the opportunity to live within small collectives where resources can be shared while a degree of privacy is ensured, as part of a community of residents. In this semester we shall be addressing the issue of collective living - a topical idea being experimented with by small groups and developers due to the global housing crisis and the increasing instances of single or small family households. Relevant within the sustainability debate as it seeks to share resources and minimise multiple repetition it also offers an alternative to the micro-flat culture where homes are built as small as possible and as numerous as possible. The big house of many rooms may prove a relevant setting for this emerging way of life.
