How can a microhouse be integrated into an inward- densifying urban development in a socially sustainable way?
No spreading out & splittering the countryside.
Autarky, but still in symbiosis with the city’s existing infrastructure
A footprint that tents to zero, using the existing roofs as a plot.
Various other residual areas such as railroad embankments, parking lots and wasteland are imaginable.
Not only desolate remnants but also noble spots like waterfronts and Villa’s could be densified.
A green nest that, through the cycle of water filtration and composting, creates greenery that also gives something back to the city:
It reduces heat
spends shadow
humidifies the air
binds fine dust
provides shelter for insects, birds, etc.
it offers relaxation to the stressed city dweller’s eye.
