1. How do you define the main issue of your project in relation with the theme “Living Cities Imagining architecture taking care of the milieus”? And in which way do you think your project can contribute to an ecological and/or social evolution?
‘Wonen is een recht’ aims to equalise living conditions for every individual. A stimulant towards a world where every human is housed, no compromises. We think this is also the architect’s responsibility. The project aims to densify housing while advocating for rewilding and preserving the existing natural environment. The most vulnerable are always considered a priority in the project.

2. How did the issues of your design and the questions raised by the site mutation meet?
The urban strategy maximises a continuous nature area. The built is established with a modular design system of block types based on the bouwbesluit, and increasing the minimum dimensions by 5%. The entire project is based on a 2310mm net wide grid, this number comes from the largest minimum dimension of a bathroom for a wheelchair user increased by 5%.
