Flexibility

How does flexibility reflect in today’s housing? What does flexible housing mean?

According to T. Schneider and J.Till it is housing that can adjust to changing needs and patterns. It is important to realize how the society changes today, and how the needs of dwellers changes as well. Housing should be flexible enough to accomodate new demands, such as aging of users or changes in working patterns. By its design, housing has to be able to adjust to these kinds of changes.

„The question for the future is to create flexible, neutral structures that can resist and allow continuous changes."
