The topic of Living Machines focuses on finding new life strategies, with particular attention to mixitè, flexibility and organization of public and private spaces. During the 70’s some interesting experiments have been developed about collective living: the proximity, the system of public and semi-public relations, the system of shared spaces and forms of self-management.
The interest in this context is about developing these issues in relation with new requirements that have emerged in recent years, which update the themes before identified and then proposed. In fact, unlike the monofunctionality, these “living machines” try to interpret new dwelling strategies, focusing on flexibility, on organization of the shared spaces, on use of color and on adaptability of living in relation to different and mutable needs emerged during time that pose the issue of reconversion, reuse and enhancement of the existing.
