ABSTRACT

The multifarious methods of construction enacted are intended to demonstrate explorations of a significantly raised residential resilience embedded in brf Viva, the name later given to the cooperative association and future residential community. This chapter provides an initial critical reassessment of this whole process with an extended special focus on the evaluation of the outcome and value of the project from a transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary – even from an intradisciplinary – point of view. The notion introduced concerning alterability of apartments has a key position in this regard, considered as a so far unexplored quality of residence in a wider time frame of enhanced resilience and longevity. The focus for us was set to identify crucial social aspects of sustainability as social solidarity and related architectural residential configurations of design; in particular, those relevant for long-term alterability and short-term instant structural adaptability or immediate flexibility.
