The unpredictability condition in social and climatic factors typical of the tropical strip poses great challenges for the design of the new housing types, that is why more than a specific design, this proposal seeks to generate a replicable, scalable, and sustainable system, combining the tropical’s construction tradition with contemporary tools and methods to improve the life quality of its inhabitants in the future. This system always builds its typologies from the combination of seven pieces. It is equipped with the tools to adapt, create variations, and change over time according to the physical, emotional, or economic needs of this region's inhabitants.

"I approach sustainability by focusing on durability in #design. Creating something to last 20 years or more is the essence of true #sustainability —when a product is designed to endure, its overall #material and #production costs spread over that extended lifespan, reducing its environmental impact." ✍🏼 Read the interview with Piero Lissoni, founder of Lissoni & Partners, by Verginia Mahu on the students' blog!
