| Summary: | The residents of high-rise housing have rigid indoor layout that fail to respond to the user change. Thus, the unique identity of residents needs to be addressed through a flexible space and housing layout scheme that can adapt to the user needs and culture. The research aim is to study flexible housing that use scaffolding system as a tool for sustainable living which adapt to the user needs and growth. The flexibility of scaffolding as a tool in house units has been explored during the research. Scaffolding is the most common reusable material, having standardised components, a wide range of forms, and a very simple assembly technique. Case studies have been analysed as methodology for this paper that are based on flexible house and scaffolding structure for interior space flexibility. The author argues through the use of examples, that the adaptability and flexibility of living space to the changing demands of people is a decisive element in the period we live in. Flexibility enables consumers to select the best solution from a multitude of possibilities and simply or inexpensively modify it, which is also part of the notion of sustainable development. |
