INTRODUCTION What are PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENTS?

The research is focused on what productive environment was, is and will be, highlighting its potentialities and proposing a starting point for future trials.

The challenge is to activate thought and stimulate discussion on a new housing experience capable of welcoming the productive sphere of work in all its aspects.

The book is characterized by six chapters and the first of them try to define the term productive environments by opening the discussion on WHAT, WHY, WHO and WHERE society needs this new type of housing that combines home and work and which are the socio-economic changes that contributed to its transformation and rebirth.

The research continues with a collection of examples from the past, contemporaneity, and the researches and studies those treat the subject. It was randomly putted together all the case studies coming from different sources and within these the most representative have been chosen.

The conclusion of the research highlights the desire to enhance the existing, inviting to reuse the abandoned building heritage. Potentiality in reaching necessary affordability could be obtained, as it was shown, from the unconventional reuse of the non-residential buildings. Their symmetrical structures, modular plans, open spaces, or high ceilings can be an opportunity in combining working and living. The case study of Italy is an example of the large number of properties that are going to waste, and it could be a solution for the constantly growing demand for affordable housing.

As it has been said before, the need to rethink spaces derives from a progressive change and digitalization of ways and means of work, but also the growing problem dictated by the scarce availability, compared to average wages, of living spaces in large urban centers.

The design project: An adaptive re-use of former Omero school in Milan through living-working environments, is developed from the research, as an experimental proposal for the Living+Working typologies that fit the various and growing needs nowadays.

Omero school, an abandoned public building, occupied by homeless people and an association helping the community, will be developed into a productive environment services the tenants as well as the whole community.

More than the architectural proposal, we would like to also introduce a program that helps people find what they need, how they can offer, and get what they want. For example, An Architect has got a project for a year and is looking for some persons to start it up and live temporarily in Milan; A graduate student is looking for a place to live plus a job; A person learned how to make pizza in Napoli and now is wishing to have his own business; An immigrant has left his house behind and is looking for gaining skills and job and a place to live. A Professional barber is just looking for some teammate and a shop to start up his shop in Milan; and so on.

The new Omero is available from now to provide an integrated system between users, service providers, residents, and neighborhood. This building is flexible multi-functional and all the units could be turned into shops, houses, kitchen, studio, etc. These wide usages are up to the people who decide for the use and proper persons will take care of the spaces to make productivity.

The typology affordable housing including a productive environment is a very broad concept since it is a set of terms and there is no specific definition when merged together. It is necessary, to begin with the definition of what it entails this typology, that is, to break down the interior of the concept in parts in order to analyze and thus understand the correct meaning. However, a definition is not enough to develop a correct criterion of this typology since each term of this concept implies factors that define its integrity that at the time of working together yield a positive but complex result to cite in a single definition.

Although it is important to have a specific definition of what the concept is, the term is still quite broad and full of sub-terms that should be analyzed in particular, however, doing so could divert attention from the direct relationship between the two main terms of this typology: “housing” + “productiveness”. Therefore it is relevant to understand the general evolution of this connection between these two daily activities and how they have been implemented throughout history, thus throwing different models that show in general context the various spatial relationships in the architecture of this type of housing.

1.1.2 DEFINITION OF PRODUCTIVE+AFFORDABLE+HOUSING (PRODUCTIVE ENVIRONMENT)

In order to properly define the term of productive affordable housing, is necessary to create a mix of the meaning of each term. The following phrases try to create the proper definition under a statement merging the terms of housing and production together:

“[...] the realm of living and the one of working seems to collapse into a common space.” 1

“[...] the limit between the private(live) and the public(work) sphere becomes increasingly blurry, causing them to co-exist in several occasions. [...] The live/work typology converses with existing conceptions of home and private life, private and public space, leading to emerging typologies and » hybrid » interpretations of house.” 2

The general concepts of the of housing The general concepts of the typology of housing with workspace cantypology be linked to with workspace can be linked to each other throueach other through other concepts or sub-terms that begin to define each of them gh other concepts or sub-terms that begin to define separately.

This typology of Productive Environment is the predecessor of the Work model. Its main characteristic is based on the fact that the source of work catalyzes the urban development around it. The first urban models of this typology developed housing in the immediate vicinity of the company and from there, the models of cities that we know today were developed. The separation between work and housing was total but unlike the more recent urban models, the transfer distances were smaller.

This typology of Productive Environment is one of the oldest models of which there is a record. One of the clearest examples of this typology is the monasteries. Its main feature is the creation of a central hub that contains the community itself, in this case, the monks who live in different “cells” of 3 rooms with their respective services. Each of these cells surround a central courtyard that contains a living common space for all users. The workspaces are located on the periphery of the building and in some cases within the central courtyard. These workspaces are destined to the production of raw material and food for the community’s own consumption, thus generating the self-maintenance of the monastery itself.

This is one of the most common typologies within the Productive Environments. It is characterized by having a total spatial separation of work and housing spaces. In this typology, the user moves from the place where he lives to the place where he works, a phenomenon that generates a more extensive and centralized city scale where these work centers are really dense. This separation and centralization of typologies stimulates the sense of community through the “neighborhood”, where the user finds people who carry out the same activity of transfer to their workspaces. This typology of Productive Environment is in the process of being obsolete as the new emerging models of work and housing begin to be more accessible and versatile for new communities.

This typology of Productive environment is located outside the cities. Its main feature is to generate within the same area, a food production system that can supply families that belong to the community while being sold to outsiders. The workspace and housing have a direct relationship since the production area is within the same site.

HOUSE+WORK

This typology of Productive Environment is one of the smallest in the market but at the same time, it can be very versatile. The user has at his disposal the complete adaptability of his space to be able to work within it. The spatial relationship between living space and working space is direct since the user performs both activities within the same space. This model has become very profitable in large cities where the demand for work is higher and conventional work models are supersaturated.

This typology is becoming more common among the young population due to a new emerging work models where conventional work spaces become obsolete #influencers.

This typology of Productive Environment is characterized by having an active ground floor that generates a direct connection with the city itself. The movement and variety on the ground floor activates the sense of community since the existence of different uses and functions makes the flow and interaction of people constant. Within buildings, mobility is limited because the mixed uses of the building are separated by levels, where in general, the active ground floor mixes typologies of work and commerce while the upper levels contain only housing. These functions may coexist within the same building but do not maintain a direct relationship. The housing models are quite varied. The scale of these buildings can vary as it can be found buildings of many levels or buildings with fewer levels.

It can be said that within the use of housing, there is an age friendly character since the market model strategy of this Productive Environment typology focuses on creating housing spaces for all ages and social strata.

This typology of Productive Environment has the purpose of creating a community that is characterized by sharing housing and work. Unlike other Productive Environment typologies, the work and housing spaces are mixed together within the buildings and the relationship between public and private becomes diffuse, this means that the house keeps the character private while the work has a public / semi-public character. This phenomenon generates a wide diversity of spaces to work and live. This typology is very attractive for young people and students looking for an active and versatile model of workspaces and housing due to its affordable cost. This typology is totally new and is being carried out in cities with a medium / high level of urban development. It is worth mentioning that despite being a very attractive space model, it can generate an unconscious isolation of the city since the building itself is transformed into a “mini city�.

1.3 WHY OMERO SCHOOL? 1.3.1 Advantage of reusing public abandoned building 1.3.2 Advantage of reusing the abandoned scool 1.3.3 The role of Omero school 1.3.4 The reason of being abandoned 1.3.5 Ri-Make: the current occupant of Omero school

The research of the abandoned public buildings highlights the desire to enhance the existing, inviting to reuse the abandoned building heritage. Potentiality in reaching necessary affordability could be obtained, as it was shown, from the unconventional reuse of the non-residential buildings. Their symmetrical structures, modular plans, open spaces, or high ceilings can be an opportunity in combining working and living. The case study of Italy is an example of the large number of properties that are going to waste, and it could be a solution for the constantly growing demand for affordable housing.

As it has been said before, the need to rethink spaces derives from a progressive change and digitalization of ways and means of work, but also the growing problem dictated by the scarce availability, compared to average wages, of living spaces in large urban centers.

1.3.1 ADVANTAGE OF REUSING PUBLIC ABANDONED BUILDINGS

LAND PRICE

Usually, the land of the public buildings belongs to the states, which will reduce or minimize the cost of the land.

BUILDING EXPENSE

Parts or even all of the building are still in good condition, which reduces the cost of construction

AFFORDABILITY

With 3 aspects above, the affordability becomes realistic.

RE-USING ABANDONED PUBLIC BUILDINGS

A city like Milan, there are hundreds of abandoned buildings that have lost their original functions, taking the public buildings as accounts, such as hospitals, schools, markets, factories, etc. We can reduce the cost for the affordable housing from land cost, building expenses, and future revenue, these 3 aspect makes the affordable housing project promising. Also, the special spatial characteristics of these public buildings will be a surprising opportunity for the project since the living space and their original functions will merge and evolve into something new.

ENVIRONMENT The school also usually located in an area with abundant sunlight, green area, air circulation, and safety.

RE-USING ABANDONED SCHOOL

Liceo Omero, chiude la sede storica.

Iscrizioni in calo e criticità strutturali

First graduation of Omero school

Ha appena compiuto 50 anni. I cittadini di Bruzzano: una ferita Milano, 22 ottobre 2016 - In cinquant'anni si sono diplomati all’Omero 4mila studenti. Un liceo classico di periferia, colonna del quartiere Bruzzano, che vanta tra gli ex alunni il giornalista Alfonso Signorini, il personaggio televisivo Raffaele Tonon, l’assessore alla Mobilità Marco Granelli e la consigliera comunale Beatrice Uguccioni (ex presidente del CdZA 9).

A gennaio c’è stata una grande festa per l’anniversario. Ma ora il futuro della scuola, almeno della struttura storica di via Del Volga che ha visto calare anno dopo anno il numero degli iscritti sembra segnato: verrà chiusa d a settembre 2017. E gli alunni rimasti (una cinquantina) verranno trasferiti al liceo scientifico Russel di via Gatti, a Niguarda. Lo stabile è u n prefabbricato d i proprietà del Comune ma in concessione alla C ittà m etropolitana, c he cura l’edilizia scolastica delle scuole superiori m ilanesi. O ra c i sono cinque sezioni, "e il trend è in calo", dicono dalla Città metropolitana. U n calo che rispecchia l a crisi d el classico (quest’anno i l Virgilio per l a prima volta n on è riuscito a formare una prima classe per carenza di iscritti) ancora più sentita in una zona di avamposto come Bruzzano. Quest’anno sono arrivati 1 8 studenti i n prima. M a il m otivo dello spostamento?

1.3.5 RI-MAKE: THE CURRENT OCCUPANT OF OMERO SCHOOL

Centro sociale Rimake: mercatino agricolo abusivo ennesimo sopruso

ACTORS The Ri-Make association helps various groups and fighting for the minorities and qualities. For the women, workers, LGBTQ+ community, foreigners, etc. It is a community creates a sense of belonging and home, which is exactly what we are expecting from our own design proposal.

“Il giorno dell’Immacolata i l centro s ociale R imake che occupa abusivamente l’ex liceo Omero di via del Volga ha organizzato u n mercatino agricolo abusivo, con tanto di striscione sulla cancellata come se fosse tutto lecito. Durante la giornata ci saranno anche un pranzo solidale e un’assemblea per la gestione e la crescita del Rimake. Il Comune ha d etto che p arte della struttura d eve essere demolita, mentre la restante parte e il giardino potrebbero essere affidati tramite bando per attività di utilità sociale.

Oltre ad augurarmi che l’amministrazione metta dei paletti per impedire al Rimake di presentarsi al bando, ricordo alla sinistra che nel frattempo potrebbe portarsi avanti col loro sgomberando gli antagonisti e pure i rom abusivi che hanno preso possesso di un’ala dell’edificio”. Così Silvia Sardone, consigliere comunale e d europarlamentare d ella L ega. “Il mercatino agricolo ha ottenuto le autorizzazioni del caso?

Rispetta le norme previste per la somministrazione di alimenti? È tutto in regola dal punto di vista igienico-sanitario? Così a occhio e croce, conoscendo le abitudini dei centri sociali, direi che è tutto abusivo, ma sarei felice se Palazzo Marino mi smentisse. Invece – chiude Sardone – temo che si tratti della solita politica della sinistra dei due pesi e delle due misure: commercianti regolari vessati e multati per la misura d ei tavolini, antagonisti liberi d i incassare i n nero calpestando l a legge”. S ulla q uestione i nterviene a nche Andrea Pellegrini, consigliere della Lega nel Municipio 9:

“La vicenda Rimake sta d iventando sempre più assurda. Il Comune di Milano non fa nulla per contrastare l’abusivismo e il degrado, nonostante le mie continue sollecitazioni. Le attività del centro sociale vengono rivendicate alla luce del sole, eppure non abbiamo mai visto nessuno eseguire i controlli del caso per arrivare poi all’unica soluzione possibile, ovvero lo sgombero. Continueremo a monitorare l’evolversi della situazione, perché Bruzzano non merita di avere un buco nero del genere nel quartiere”.

SERVICE As the new occupant of Omero school, Ri-make uses the space for various activities, such us dancing school, choir practice, language lessons, reading activities, etc. All of those are combining the community together and involving diversity to the community.

As Italy is gripped by a countrywide lockdown because of rocketing numbers of coronavirus cases, Italians are trying to boost their morale and have started spreading a slogan of reassurance: “Andrà tutto bene” – everything will be all right.

Italy coronavirus lockdown leaves streets deserted. Millions of children are stuck at home because their schools and nurseries have closed, and many have started leaving hand-drawn notes in their neighborhoods, bearing the Italian equivalent to the Cantonese phrase jiayou, translating into “don’t give up” or “hang on in there”, that has been used frequently on the streets of China since the outbreak began.

Smart working, la rivoluzione portata dal virus. Ecco perché non torneremo più indietro Il punto di partenza è che lo smart-working non è affatto un modo per scomparire o lavorare meno. Lo dice un autorevole centro studi tedesco, l 'Ifo, ma p arlando n on d ei d isciplinati lavoratori teutonici, bensì proprio di noi italiani. La ricerca ( "Smart-Working: Work Flexibility W ithout Constraints") , infatti, è stata condotta in Italia, in una azienda, probabilmente di distribuzione dell'elettricità, del Nord, con oltre 4 mila dipendenti, seguendo una buona fetta di lavoratori per quasi un anno.

Questo, ovviamente, vuol dire che la ricerca è stata realizzata nei mesi scorsi, prima dell'epidemia e delle quarantene. E l'esperimento prevedeva, i n realtà, un s olo giorno di smart-working alla s ettimana. I risultati, tuttavia, s ono ugualmente i ndicativi di u na s erie d i vantaggi - sia p er l'azienda, che per il lavoratore - derivati dal telelavoro.

Tutti o quasi, milioni di italiani, a casa a scoprire il telelavoro o "smart-working" (lavoro agile è la traduzione corrente, ma, in realtà, si può tradurre anche lavoro intelligente). Ma poi, quando questo incubo epidemia sarà finito, che succederà? La risposta è che il telelavoro è qui per restare, in varie forme, modalità, misure, ma via via più radicate. Perché il telelavoro funziona: rende più produttivi, ma anche più sereni e soddisfatti.

Anzitutto, proprio p er sgombrare i l campo d all'obiezione più immediata, i l telelavoratore è p iù p roduttivo, sia c he proviate a m isurare l a produttività i n termini quantitativi (quantità d i pratiche sbrigate, ad esempio) sia c he l o facciate secondo parametri specifici (il rispetto delle deadline, per dire). Mentre i lavoratori l egati agli o rari n ormali accrescono la loro produttività, mediamente, rispetto al mese precedente, del 10-30 per cento, i telelavoratori l'aumentano più rapidamente, fra il 25 e il 45 per cento. E questa crescita, secondo le due ricercatrici, accelera man mano che passano i mesi, come se, via via, i telelavoratori si impratichissero della nuova esperienza.

Tuloui are a series of giant multistoried homes built with wood and fortified with mud walls. Constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, these massive communal homes were sited with feng shui principles and are purposefully nestled amidst tea, tobacco, and rice fields and bountiful forests of pine and bamboo.

These 46 structures are known as the Fujian Tulou. Throughout history, their residents have mostly been Hakkaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;migrants in southern China who originated from lands adjacent to the Yellow River. Population pressures created conflict between the Hakka and their neighbors, so they built their homes to double as fortification structures.

Each structure essentially doubles as a self-contained village.

Communal living is integral to these villages, as well as equality. Each of the rooms is identical in design. The closedwall design fosters social interaction.

Although individual families have their own sections, residents congregate in the courtyard for ceremonies such as ancestor worship and weddings.

Thus the tulou were born, real collective peasant dwellings developed vertically; mini-villages capable of holding about 80 families for a maximum capacity of 600 people. There are those who consider tulou a prime example of self-sufficient co-housing and a social model based on democracy.

They also hosted extended clans, all in equal housing units without any distinction of rank among families, thus increasing the sense of community. The spaces in the tulou even today are vertically organized and each family, depending on the size, occupies one or more rooms, while corridors and stairs are in common.

The Tolous are imposing, massive, mostly circular, but also square; three floors and more above ground, with windows only from the second floor, two opposite entrances and a complex series of internal loggias, all built around an open central courtyard. A round, circular, or square construction with a double-pitched roof and rainwater management systems; spaces intended for common life and others reserved for the family, places of prayer and school, kitchens on the ground floor and rooms on the highest floors.

The workhomes of seventeenth and eighteenth century silk-weavers, watchmakers and stocking-knitters had workshop spaces with large windows to provide the high levels of natural light necessary for their trades.

amongst the looms.

The poorest weavers, working by the piece for a master weaver, inhabited small workhomes with a living space on the ground floor and a space for a single loom, lit by a large window, above.

Many of these buildings still exist today.

They can be identified by their combination of unusually large and domestic scale windows.

Sometimes they were single units one near the others, but more than often a weaving company decided to built this type of settlement including the residents for their employes.

These buildings took different forms depending on the status of the craft-worker.

Master weavers’ workhomes often had two floors of elegant residential accommodation below garret weaving lofts where their employees worked.

Weavers running small businesses often had workhomes with loom-shops on several floors. The family lived and worked in these buildings with employees and apprentices, the latter tending to sleep

The perfect example is the Cash’s One Hundred Cottage Factory, in Coventry (GB) in 1857.

It was a development of 46 weavers’ houses that shared a driveshaft ran through the upper-floor weaving studios, powered by a collective steam engine, allowing home-based silk weavers to operate power looms and therefore compete with their factory-based peers.

Generally the dual use of this type of building is clearly legibile.

Large expanses of glass at the second-floor level, maximizing the natural light to looms in double-height studio spaces, read together horizontally as “factory”. Simultaneously, the “homes” below are articulated through the use of tall chimneys and domestic-scale windows and doors.

Recognizable as an institution from the street, the height and monumentality of the red brick development sets it apart from its residential suttoundings. Each individual cottage factory had its own front door on the exterior of the block.

While a footpath, running tight against the flat frontage, linked these to each other, encouraging communication between neighbours.

A ladder up to the weaving loft had a trapdoor that closed once the weavers were upstairs. The noise of the looms would have dominated the whole building.

Looking for business, the architects proposed building a complex of studio dwellings on the rhen outskirts of the city.

They represented a specific living and working typology and comprised individual studio dwellings and collective gallery spaces like the Citè Montmartre aux Artistes.

The trio design what themselves called the ‘Amsterdam type’, a variant of the ‘Parisian type’. The Asterdam type was based on the so called ‘2 to 3’ cross section in which two high studio spaces would correspond to three floors of normal height, inspiring by Le Corbusier.

This resulted in different dwellings: larger ones for married painters and smaller ones for bachelor painters.

Sculptors’ studios were on the ground floor to facilitate the transport of the heavy sculptures, because the ground

Upstairs living room and bedroom overlook the double height studio, separated from it by an internal stairs, allowing the working space to remain always connected to the domestic space.

A shared staircase allows access to the studios and homes on each floor, giving two accesses to the same dwelling, one public, through the workspace, and one private, through the home itself.

To get the plain realized, the three architects compaigned energetically in the press and through lectures. In accordance with the best of functionalist principles, they investigated the demand for studios in Amsterdam and made an inventory of existing studios, which the characterized as damp stables and leaking attics. This not only referred to studios in Amsterdamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical city centre, but also to the very recently built studios.

As it turned out, the type of urban design that was made up of large city blocks that combined living and working organically, although sometimes impratically, was a phenomenon that wuod last only 20 years, yet leave a unique pattern in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s year rings.

The post-war period in which the Am-

It has all been done / Atelierwoningen *Group Research

sterdam typology was developed - following a period of stagnation between 1935 and 1945 - was characterized by a shortage of material and money and required efficient production and repetition rather than variety. The starting point was the separation of functions. Housing types were reduced to a few endlessly repeated models. Artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio dwellings were a luxury that the city could no longer afford. The rich functional and typological diversity of the Berlagian city blocks, in which living and working programmes helped to articulate the urban structure, was a thing of the past.

Reinventing / House for seven people *Group Research

The original house was built 37 years ago with a mixed structure; steel on the ground floor and timber on the first floor.

The site around the house has dramatically changed throughout the years and now the two-story house is surrounded by 7-9 story buildings in a area which lies between Yamate-Dori and Megro River.

The design seeks to take advantage of the number of people that will inhabit the house. When living alone in central Tokyo, it is rare to find a dwelling large enough for a spacious living room, a long bathtub, a large kitchen or a green garden. But by designing a house for seven people, it is possible, through the use of

shared spaces, to realise rich dwelling spaces in the center of the city.

Minimizing the bedroom area allows the living room to be as large as possible. The living room becomes defined by a public character since it can be used as one space for many people at once. It becomes the flexible “Third Place”. The living room is both a café and a library; a place where neighbours can meet, share information, and learn from one another. The more people who use the living room, the more stimulating the environment becomes. Moreover without modifying the windows of the existing structure, a corridor around the façade was placed. This sort of veranda allows daylight into the rooms and the inhabitants can use that space as an extension of their own rooms. They can read next to the window, grow plants or dry their washing in this space; it blurs the borders of the private and public rooms.

Reinventing / VinziRast-Mittendrin *Group Research

VinziRast-mittendrin is an experimental housing project located in the middle of Vienna and it could be seen as an ambassador against monoculture, that encourages diversity in the city and offers a different perspective to society.

The living communities and communal areas are for students and formerly homeless persons only; the restaurant is open for all guests with no pressure to consume and the top floor can be rent by everybody.

The project is a result of the Audimax Occupation by students in 2009 and during these protests, homeless people joined the occupied auditorium of the University and, together with all the students, made it their home.

Since the opening in spring of 2013, students live together with formerly homeless persons in 10 living communities of 3 people under one roof.

Besides common rooms, the restaurant “mittendrin” as well as two event venues, the room outlay also includes several workshops, which give residents the opportunity to work together, thereby creating an extra source of income.

The Gaupenraub+/– architecture studio carefully examined how and where people find shelter to escape the open sky and planned communal apartments for groups of three residents.

Each floor has three living units, which are equipped with 3 rooms, bathroom, toilet and a small tea kitchen.

A striking design element in the interior as well as in the outer space are the light brown Heraklith plates. They are one of the numerous donations from the construction industry that made the project possible.

In the shared rooms, the panels form a niche that can serve as a pin board and

at the same time has a sound-reducing effect. The architects wanted to use these retreat niches to compensate for the diverse communal areas.

Moreover each three shared apartments share a communal kitchen. This is where the common life takes place and here it can sometimes be tight - physically as well as psychologically; for this reason the communal kitchens therefore have three access options.

In addition, the building houses also offices, consultation rooms, as well as a library.

In the basement a large event space was constructed, while the ground floor contains the Mittendrin restaurant and several workshops. From the restaurant you can reach the courtyard-side Vereinsgastgarten and the in-house workshops (carpentry workshop, tailorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s workshop, bicycle workshop).

The spacious roof terrace offers space for

raised beds, where vegetables are grown, as well as plenty of seating. This free space on the roof as a degree of freedom and option forms an important element in the overall concept. Adjacent to the roof terrace is the Dachatelier. This fully glazed space offers a privileged view of the city center due to the projecting construction line and, as well as the event room in the basement, it can be booked by external people for conferences, lectures, but also birthday parties and much more.

In this project, access routes as well as entrances and exits assume a key function. The shared apartments are accessed via a portico; on the one hand, outdoor access saves valuable floor space inside the building and on the other hand, the atmosphere on an outdoor walk is incomparably more relaxed compared to a dark corridor in the building.

Important is the angular shape of this portico that creates visual relationships and supports communication over several floors.

With this project, the architects that took care of it, wanted to achieve the purpose to break down the threshold that everyone experiences in the city in encounters with homeless people and, in this sense, the alley â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the middleâ&#x20AC;? fulfills a key function. Here former homeless people work. These spaces are characterized by room-high glazing that reveals a view of the interior and cozy seating niches invite guests to watch the action on the street.

Lastly, as regards the structure, the original roof was taken down and its materials used in fitting-out the interior. A third living floor + a roof studio with a large roof garden replaces the old top.

All the construction was carried out with donated money. Donated materials, voluntary work, freely contributed time and expertise helped to hold the building costs low. Everything, in this project, is made with recycled materials that otherwise would end up in the garbage.

For instance, hundreds of fruit and vegetable boxes were neatly disassembled for the wall and ceiling paneling and then arranged graphically appealing, cushions made from recycled coffee sacks, door handles that serve as pocket hooks along the bar and so on.

Income through catering services, lending the top floor to different events, the rent from the apartments and donations pay back the monthly costs and credit interests. The concept defines this communal housing project as a joint act, and so it can be said that architecture can make a difference.

Coop Housing, in downtown Berlin, is a jointly developed and administered project building upon experience gained from many previous self-made projects and its main mission is to harness its location’s unique potential to create a socially just, economically stable, and environmentally responsible urban building block.

This project is characterized by three buildings that form a confident and distinct unity in their design and position in the urban space. Open to the river and the neighbors, they do not set themselves off like blocks. The individual and communal terraces have become a distinguishing feature; they offer a muchused compensation for the “loss” of open spaces to the public.

The building design consists of predominantly simple support and construction systems that enable a rich variety of options for the organization of various uses.

Reinventing / Coop Housing at river Spreefeld *Group Research

In this way, no two of the 64 apartment dwellings are alike, although they all follow the same principles.

In addition to conventional units there are six cluster apartments that provide a communal living structure for groups of 4 to 21 people.

The residential population is quite diverse. It is multigenerational and multicultural, made possible by people both with and without money. Apartments are barrier-free and there is communal use of laundry rooms, fitness rooms, guest rooms, rooftop terraces, and the music and youth room. The ground floor is largely open to the public, reflecting its attitude to the urban environment. It includes a carpentry workshop, catering kitchen, studios, daycare center, and a co-working space. Available to non-residents are Option Rooms that maintain the project’s open character at the juncture of living and urban development.

Surrounded by the giant greenareas and parks, gives the site a sense of nature and quietness, and as a residential area, there is not much going on as a community, which may give us a hint of inspiration for our future design project.

POTENTIAL

DISADVANTAGE

Greenspace The site is surrounded by big open green areas, which gives more chances for new attractions.

Lack of attraction The area is lack of activities and interactions, without even enough commercial spots around.

Accessibility The area is well connected with public transportations, metro, bus, train and highways, which makes it easy to reach.

Broken elements Although the building is well preserved, the elements inside are starting to break, like the roof and pavement, which may need to be considered in the project.

Community There are many schools and retirement homes around the Omero school, which gives a big potential for the interaction among various users.

Facade The facade of the school doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fulfill the needs of the residential building, of which we may need to take into consideration in of insulation issues and so on.

Low cost The site and the building belong to the state, which cut off the costs and future revenue, makes the goal of affordability reachable.

Isolation The Omero school is surrounded by fences and trees, which may be needed as a school, but not a productive environment that tries to involve the community.

Big space The structure of the building gives the interior flexible and wide spaces, which can me used in a various and multifunctional way in the future project.

Unfunctional Facilities In the building, except the light and water is functioning well in some part of the building, the other facilities are all out of function, which can be a big problem for residential architectures.

Occupant: Ri-Make As the Ri-Make association is already occupying the space, with whom we share the same goal, we can get assistance from each other, which will make the project reasonable both theoretically and practically.

?

PRODUCTIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN FORMER OMERO SCHOOL The main goal we would like to achieve is to design a space as a program that finds people in need, build up the connections, offers its dwellers the chance to share abilities, competencies and job opportunities, as well as to fulfill the accommodation needs.

SPACE VERSATILITY The development of the working+living models comes along from totally mixed, to separate, and till today which the relation between living and working space become more blurred, and to reach our aim, we need to find the versatile solution of working+living.

ORIGINAL SITUATION OF THE SITE

ORIGINAL FUNCTIONS

The site is located in the residential center, has 3 different heights and 3 entrances, well connected with the main street and a common park on the south.

The original Omero school was composed of 3 volumes, connected by a core circulation.It is a typical shape of school architecture, especially in Milan.

4.1.4 PROJECT INTERVENTION

REMOVAL OF ELEMENTS

EXTENSION

As a school that has 60 years of history, some elements are not suitable for a productive affordable housing project, in this case, we propose to remove the fences, which isolate the whole site; core circulation and exterior circulations; all facade since itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple panel without insulation and now in bad condition.

There is a big empty area on the north-east of the existing building, we propose to add an extension as part of the project.

EXTENSION

NEW COURTYARDS

Since the site is a public abandoned building, and the future project will be affordable housing, the proposal extension intends to add more density in the project, also to bond closely with the main street.

Push back the now volume to create two courtyards, which gives a rhythm of the whole building, brings more sunlight, and gives more character to the outdoor spaces.

NEW CORE

On the north-west corner and north-east corner ,there are two trees on the site, which are precious and luxuriant, they will be kept as part of the project, which brings quality to the spaces.

A lighter and smaller core is added to connect the volumes, which gives the project more logic and hierarchy.

FLEXIBILITY Spaces are flexible for multi-activities, by physical movable divisions as well as a different schedules of behaviors.

PRODUCTIVITY Spaces are dedicated to various types of productive environments, both domestic and professional activities, to meet the demands of self-sufficient supplement and economical trade.

LIVING TYPOLOGY FOR ALL Living spaces target on all profilesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. Based on the number of people, relationship of the people, age of the people, and some special conditions.

SHARE AND EXCHANGE Space as a program that finds people in need, builds up the connections, offers its dwellers the chance to share abilities, competencies, and job opportunities, as well as to fulfill the accommodation needs.

WORKING TYPOLOGY FOR ALL Working spaces dedicated to all kind of productive activities and professional activities, with special spacial needs, schedule needs, privacy needs and connection needs.

CONCLUSION -REUSE OF OMERO SCHOOL

REUSE OF EXISTING Reuse the existing structure ban benefit from the original spacial flexibility and reducing the building expenses.

EXTENSION Adding a new extension to increase the density of the project, as well as to have a strong connection with the community, will benefit the user and their productive activities.

ORIGINAL CHARACTERISTIC The original characteristic of the Omero school has been kept selectively, by following the rhythms and the dimension of the volume.

QUALITY IMPROVEMENT Adding new courtyards and regenerating the spaces has improved the quality of the site, both interior and exterior.

ACCESSIBILITY Create a connection with the community makes the project easier to access, and become the community center that atract all possibilities and activities.

RESEARCH TEAM

As I am writing this page I am in my temporary working room for the last days of a lock-down in Milan the heart of a worldwide catastrophe due to the pandemic COVID-19; Over the past months, we all encountered a new situation that has altered the ways we would live in our homes, neighborhoods, and cities. The days that we went under some experiences and circumstances even rarely occurred through history; The days we looked forward to returning to our everyday basics and at that point, I observed that the only space I was legally and morally allowed to be is nothing rather my room.

In September 2019 we started to study the field of housing engaging with working that was titled “Productive Environments” under the coordination of the final studio of “Affordable Housing” in Politecnico di Milano. Among the chapters of the research, we were attempting to demonstrate the necessity of models that embrace living and working collectively, as humankind basically never been detached from its past concerning the coexistence of living and working.

Nowadays after the pandemic, we all observe how the most current living models are practically fragile in adaption and how far our careers are dependent on its brittleness under uncertainties and variable conditions, and its solid essentiality is presently proved to us. An interesting concern for the future of our homes, which I never imagined that this future we tried to represent it by an architectural frame could approach us promptly and I could exist inside this frame experiencing the obscure spatial qualities which are consequently determined by the political, the social and the economic restrictions of this unusual lock-down time. Eventually, in conclusion, this event coincided on the path of our design

I would like to express my deepest appreciation to those who helped me in this way, To Fabio, Elena who stayed continuously advising us during these unusual days of lock-down. To Anamaria and Cui my great teammates for their constructive collaboration. To my parents who their unwavering love and support made my way. To my brother for his brilliant suggestions. And at last to those great old friends who stayed beside me along this way.

This year surprised us all with the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19, making us reconsider, adjust and condition our spaces to be able to host all the activities that are part of our daily life and we used to carry out in spaces outside home.

It was a challenge to find the balance since each activity has different requirements, making evident the need to have a versatile and multifaceted space with proper conditions to live and work mainly, which is the main target of the project, living spaces that are linked with working areas, private or common, creating a productive environment.

However, it was an interesting experience to develop the thesis under these circumstances since we were having a first-hand experience, identifying the frailty of the existing typologies and our responsibility as architects to provide adaptable spaces.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to all the people who have been part of this process. Prof.

Fabio Lepratto and Prof. Elena Fontanella, for their willingness and constancy at each stage of the project. To my groupmates Amir and Cui, for their constant communication, work, and great contribution. To my family and boyfriend that always give me encouragement and strength to achieve my goals and to all my friends for the unconditional support.

The year of 2020 must be remembered as a special year in everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, for me as well. I have expected hundreds of different ways to finish my master thesis, but non of them can compare to the reality-working in distance with my groupmates in the center of the outbreak of the global pandemic, being locked at home for 2 months, first concerned about my family on the other side of the planet, and soon later it turns vice versa. With all of these going on, we are trying to finish the thesis earlier than expected, and I also made a decision that may change my path in the future. I am proud that we did it.

I want to express my deepest appreciation to my boyfriend Roberto and his parents Ana and Angelo, without their support and nurturing I would never reach this far. Also I am extremely grateful to my family in China, the everyday check-in calls became my support and motivation to carry on. For my supervisors Fabio and Elena, it is their unwavering support and guidance that makes everything possible. For my groupmates Anamaria and Amir, I indeed very much appreciate their effort and intelligence, and 15 hours on-line call everyday. One more special thanks to Minnie, the dog we adopted right before the lock-down, an excuse to go out for some fresh air during the hardest time. Last but not least, for whoever helped and supported me, I am sincerely grateful.
