La casa gris, la domesticación del espacio

Abstract

When observing the phenomenon of mass housing construction and how it is decontextualized with respect to the construction site, I find that the domestic space has constantly mutated; being regulated and typified by its profitability and part of the mechanism of speculation in the market, a phenomenon in its contemporary conception being the little interest in the development of the individual with the space he inhabits.

Thus, this project aims to encompass the domestic space, as a projection of those who inhabit it in search of a vital and personal space, which not only responds to the needs of protection from environmental adversities but is in turn subject to the social, personal and ideological dynamics of the person who occupies it.

The house is an object that adapts to life, it is a space foreign to the natural environment that the human being has built to remain and develop in it as an individual who: imagines, thinks, longs... vital needs that are not entirely satisfied in an impersonal and homogeneous constructive model; which turns out to be the most “economical” for the majority of the population, which only deals with the shelter, forgetting the impact that the perception of space generates on the development of its inhabitant.
