Transformable Vertical Village

The urban congregation of ship containers named "bidonville horizontal Skyscraper" or "vertical mobile village" or "scaffold city" or "Escape - Hell Palace" is a quick solution for temporary housing responding to the needs of new residential areas in Hymetus, Athens, Greece. It is conceived as a "housing library", where the units that form the ensemble can change place. The structure is conceived as a high, three dimensional infrastructure grid that can receive ready made elementary homes, hosted in ship containers through an interior solution that allows the units to plug in the village's infrastructure. The construction is proposed as a part of a complex urban proposal that challenges a new strategy for the center of Athens.
