Instant House competition. Housing models for people who do not live permanently in the city

Deadline for submitting the registration form >>> June 4 2012 12pm
The Instant House competition aims to experiment on a residential structure equipped with services related to the mobility of the researchers and visitors professors at the Politecnico di Milano. The competition proposes to experiment on housing models for people who do not live permanently in the city. The project area is located in the Sustainable Campus project. 

The plan includes the design of one or more buildings that meet the needs of a mobile resident population and which, at the same time, offer a service to the scientific community and the citizens that spend time in and around the University City Campus.

This is why the proposal, which also calls for reflection about an innovative programme, is hinged on creating a conversation between individual and collective spaces. As if the city would begin to contaminate the ‘external’ users and they, in turn, would transmit aspects of their personal experience to the city and the community where they live.  An inclusive and open residence that can create comfortable spaces which are also full of life.
