Intermediate Production Space
The commune seeks to maintain a constant dialog with the development of the city through the various activities that develop on the inside and outside of the proposal, generating a broker to facilitate processes of productive chain and promote the undertaking of users (owners).

Transformations
It incorporates an adaptive housing that is merged with the production space according to the needs of the family.
Housing part from the opposition between experiment vs project, considering intervention strategies with the spatial permeability and self-management of space. The first strategy is developed in the system of openings that owns the linkage, in which distinguish the six modules of 12 mtrs2 that have each. The second strategy seeks to raise a flexible interior space in which the user through rotating panels can self-manage your space of everyday life.
