Self-Sufficient Housing
1st Advanced Architecture Contest



"Created for students and professionals to inspire changes in how new buildings are designed and constructed, the program challenges participants to design a self-sufficient and ecologically oriented dwelling. In the early 20th Century, the concept of “dwelling” was defined as a “machine for living”, a reference to a new way of understanding the construction of inhabitable spaces that characterized the Machine Age. Today, a century later, we face the challenge of constructing a sustainable or even self-sufficient dwelling, now a living organism that interacts with its environment, exchanging resources, and which functions as an entirely self-sufficient entity. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia publishes here a selection of entries presented during the 1st Advanced Architecture Contest: Self-Sufficient Housing."

The form is then sequentially and gradually projected into the air, breaking apart volumes until reaching the river, where the form disintegrates exploding in modules suspended above the water environment. The architecture does not intend to be a forced and strange element in the...
