CONTEXT

THE WORKER’S HOUSE OCCUPY A NARROW LOT AS AN

ALTERNATIVE TO EXIST IN THE CENTRAL AREA OF GREAT
CITIES, NEAR TO WORK, COMMERCIAL CENTERS AND
URBAN EQUIPMENTS. THIS HOUSE IS THE APPLICATION OF
A INTELLIGENT AND MORE SUSTAINABLE BUILDING SYSTEM
AS A WAY OF PROPOSE AN ALTERNATIVE POSSIBILITY
FOR THIS TYPICAL TYPOLOGY FOUND IN THE CITIES ALL
PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION
AROUND THE WORLD.

THE WORKER’S HOUSE IS THE ANSWER TO GROWING

DENSITY PROBLEMS - STILL PRESERVING THE QUALITY OF
HABITATION.

THE PROJECT DEALS WITH THE DIFFICULT CONDITIONS OF

THIS KIND OF TYPOLOGY: A VERY LIMITED LOT GEOMETRY,
THE NEED OF ADAPTABILITY TO OTHER RENTAL USES- LIKE
THE POSSIBILITY OF RENTING A ROOM ,INCORPORATION
OF A PROFITABLE ACTIVITY OR THE FAMILY GROWTH.

A HOUSE ALONG TIME

FIRST A COUPLE WITH THEIR LIVING STRUCTURE, AND THEN
THE ADDITION OF A SEPARATED KITCHEN THAT CHANGES
THE HOUSE`S FORM AND THE RELATION WITH THE STREET
TO SHELTER A TINY RESTAURANT, NOW ONE OF THEIR
INCOME SOURCES. THE MOTHER-IN-LAW IS NOW WIDOW
AND COMES TO LIVE WITH THE COUPLE, OCCUPYING THE
GROUND FLOOR WHILE THE COUPLE MOVES TO THE FIRST
PAVEMENT.THE NEXT STEP OF GROWTH IS DUE TO THE FIRST

worker’s
CHILD BIRTH, FOLLOWED BY THE SECOND RIGHT NEXT.
AFTER SOME TIME, THE GRANDMOTHERPASSES AWAY; THE
BILLS GET EXPANSIVER, THE CITY RECEIVES MORE CITIZENS
AND THE HOUSE NEEDS TO GET BIGGER AGAIN, BUT THIS
TIME AS A WAY TO RENT A ROOM.

THE WORKER’S HOUSE IS, MAINLY, A MUTABLE HOUSE; A

HOUSE ALONG TIME.

self MODERN SOCIAL HOUSE PRODUCTION
THE USE OF BCORE TO THINK A CONSTRUCTIVE SYSTEM THAT FITS ITSELF IN THE WAY OF LIVING
IN SLUMS AND SOLVING THE NEEDS OF PROLETARIAN SMALL RENT POPULATION IS, AFTER ALL, A

constrution
POSSIBILITY TO REACH PLACES UNEXPLORED BY THE FORMAL GLOBAL MARKET. NEEDING TO BE
EASILY APPROPRIATED, IT DEALS WITH LIGHT ASSEMBLABLE AND DISASSEMBLABLE PIECES THAT
CAN BE CARRIED BY FEW PEOPLE AND TRANSPORTED IN WAGONS AND PICK UP TRUCKS, REQUIRING
NO SKILLED LABOR OR USE OF MACHINERY. IN ADDITION, A INTERNATIONALLY STANDARDIZED
SYSTEM THAT ENABLES THE PARTS EXCHANGE IS ESSENTIAL TO MAKE IT ABLE TO INCREASE THE
POSSIBILITIES OF EXPANSION AND TO CHANGE THE SCHEDULED OBSOLESCENCE BY REUSE -
REDUCING THE POLLUTER RESIDUE GENERATION.

THE 3, 6 AND 9 METER HIGH PARTS FIT IN WITH THE SLABS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NARROW LOT

system
DEMARCATION - COMMON TYPOLOGY OF SELF-CONSTRUCTION - TO STRUCTURE ARCHITECTURAL
TECHNICAL QUALITIES FORMING MODULAR STRUCTURAL RINGS FURTHERMORE, THE INTERNAL
PARTITIONS ARE MADE OF SCREWED CARBON STEEL BEAMS - CREATING A RANGE OF ROOM
POSSIBILITIES AND ALLOWING MORE ELEMENTS TO BE USED, SUCH AS WINDOWS, MUXARABIS,
DOORS, STAIRS AND CATWALKS.
