Description
Summary:Industrialism has affected our way of building cities, using the production line as a model for living. Our lives are divided into parts both in time and space, with zones for different activities, kinds of housing, and phases of life. Diseases related to a sedentary lifestyle and stress are increasing and we feel lonelier than ever.

This project aims to explore possible strategies for a more circular way of building our cities.
