Flexibility

It is convenient that architects consider flexibility because architecture should respond to the dweller's needs, and a non-flexible building could satisfy these needs in a short term, but a design that allows changes during time, could adapt to the changes in the dweller's needs, doing its function in a long term. Physically, a building's life is longer than the use people does; making it flexible might extend this period of usage.

Flexible housing could be an answer to family cycles, expanding when the family grows and contracting when it reduces. Flexibility could be undestood not just as a matter of size but also as an adaptability characteristic, allowing a house to be suitable for the same people as they grow old.
