ABSTRACT

The current process of building housing usually is a linear process; people start again each time by designing a next series of housing, prescribe new materials, use these, and dispose of them at some point in time when a renovation, redesign. When permanent parts of the building, i.e., construction, façade, and installations are designed and structured in such a way that they are “separated” from the further individual housing/infill and designed to be/remain sustainable, the profit in terms of performance will be substantial. It should be obvious that, primarily, the housing that is added to the supply should be subject to the entire range of options available to ensure people build sustainable, circular, and flexible. It is also obvious that given this amount, people will need several decades to re-organize their supply of housing and answer the increasing urge for a more democratic process.
