The temporary care homes should be a step towards self-sufficiency and privacy usually offered by a private house, whilst avoiding private spaces that can create conditions of exclusion and isolation.
The proposed model is a “public residence” with domestic spaces, as domesticity is the fundamental answer to the real need of comfort for the users.
Daytime is divided into different moments, specified by a typical space structure; the night is reserved to hospitality whereas during the day the same spaces are dedicated to secondary activities – call center, counseling center, library, laundry, recycling point, lost and found etc. - which can be integrated with the hospitality.
The structure must be able to change its configuration during the day and to evolve, according from time to time to the rising necessities.
The main consequence of this way of operating is the relevance of flexibility and adaptability of the internal space. It is necessary to give a wide range of possible transformations, attempting to make the first step towards experimentation of new spaces and aggregation units.
The use of poor and recycled materials minimizes the costs of the new interventions and leaves other resources available for the difficult management of the entire structure.
