| Sumari: | The awareness of a society in constant transformation and acceleration has been a characteristic factor since modernity. In the realm of housing, the philosophy behind the notion of flexibility is rooted, precisely, on the will to incorporate the variable of time to achieve a suitable adaptation of the space to the changing needs of the inhabitants. Its own condition also denotes an evolutionary nature, closely linked to the transformation of the society (cultural, economical, social, etc.). The main goal of the article, given this nature, is to classify the most significant strategies around the concept of flexibility during last century, in order to broaden its meaning and to encourage original interpretations. We will observe that the dialectic between the determined and the indeterminate shows a tension between the ideals and the real occupation of space, while the initial search for a generic space as ideal of housing is replaced by the reconsideration of its individuality. |
