1. PEOPLE
Considering the fact that the building of Via Adriano has been abandoned for a long time and never been completed, there are no residents in it to consider for the survey. Therefore the group visited the other case studies in order to come in touch with the current users of the RST programme and understand their reality and expectations. By this exercise we obtained material helpful to understand the potential users of the building in the future and inform our design approach and strategies. Important to note that in the RST of Via Adriano the programme will be mainly hosting children and their mother, therefore those are the most relevant users we studied from the other cases. We consider the different scales of that family and so we provide with the design accomodation solutions for every possible case. Another step we took is to ideally allocate some of the mothers with children we met already and see the possibility of the space being appropriate and accomodating for their specific needs. In the following diagrams we unfold the possibilities our design allows and the flexibility in numbers and combinations of users for every unit or aggregation.

3. AGGREGATIONS
The different units compose several types of agreegations and they are also varying from one floor to another. In total there are four different agreegation types defined by dimensions, number of people they can host and the spaces they contain. In the design we also consider the common area as a courtyard of the units, making the whole floor a bigger scale agregation. In a larger scale the floor is part of the RST aggregation which is part of the aggregation of the whole building which also belongs to a bigger one, the community of via Adriano. The variations of the aggregations gives the possibility of the residents to have a more sharing and being part of a group experience or maintaining a private and indipendant everyday life. Another goal we aimed for with the design is that with the possibility that the RST conditions to change in the future, as for which people, how many and for how long it can host would not decrease the effictive use of the building. The variations of units and agregations and the flexibility of the furniture can allow to host also residents other that just mothers and kids and not only people who are in need and maybe for longer time than the current. A very significant space is the groundfloor W.E.M.I. space together with coworking activities. The space is open to everyone and that could be a platform for the RST residents and people from other contexts to interact, help and inspire each other and mostly to be able to gain professional rehabilitation.

The plus “+” in the upper right hand corner refers to the sofa in the living room being able to be arranged as a double bed. As this situation is most probably only comfortable for a short period of time, we didn´t consider it in the numbers.

Yasmin and her four children share a threeroom apartment in Adriano. Nadia and Sara are sleeping in one room, while the littlest girl, Ana, is staying with her brother Kai. Yasmin loves to invite her friends and neighbours over while the kids are in school and kindergarden. This is when her bed in the living room turns into a sofa and creates a comfortable space for several people.
Marika and her son Theo are living in the biggest type of apartments in Adriano. Theo and Marika both have their own room which offers a lot of place for storage as well as a big sofa. Like this they can use the sofa-bed in the living room only as a sofa and still have enough space to invite friends and neighbours.

Yasmin:�Since we moved here, I met so many new people. Especially in my case, as I have 4 kids, it helps to exchange with others, who are in the same situation. Before we lived here, one room was used as a kind of guest-room. I am glad it belongs to this apartment now and we can all fit!�
Yasmin, Nadia, Kai, Sara & Ana -31-
Nadia:�It is not easy to be the oldest of four children...I have to help out a lot. But luckily Mum likes to be in the common space, where she and the little ones can meet other neighbours and of course also their kids to play with them.�

4. UNITS
The units are designed by the composition and strategical position of the built-in furniture that create the spaces. The built in furniture is the most important element that defines the boundaries of the unit and that has been the initial step of our design strategy, define the unit and with it the space. The units are composed by these objects that have a flexible function so they can host different activities such as unit ADR.a-LR that is the living room, kitchen and eating space, but the sofa bed can add also the possibility to sleep in that space. An elemnt that ads to the flexibility of the project is the addition of a Back-up room, it is a unit part of the bigger aggregation which has also an independant entrance and can be used as part of any aggregation if needed. The oversimplified forms, dimensions and layouts of the units make them suitable to be used by any of the temporary residents, to be costumized accordingly and give a feeling of a hominess. The materials that compose the space are only exposed concrere that relates to the re use of the structure, wood for a warm enviroment and only the bult in furniture is pigmented concrete that makes it stand out, define the space’s function and give a more friendly and playful tone to the interiors.
