• Abstract:

  Based on theoretical assumptions about contemporary society, on subsequent analyzes and experiences related to liquid architecture, this article seeks to respond to expectations and materialization of concepts and ideas; to propose a critical and reflective architecture of contemporaneity, its forms, languages, demands and perspectives. The material result is the design of a module (capsule) with different and adaptable functions, format and dimensions that facilitate its transport, assembly and installation. The module's main function is to meet the needs of temporary housing, emergency shelter, overnight or short-term rest in airports, bus stations, shopping malls, festivals, tourist spaces, congresses and events in general. The combinations between the capsules and the composition of their parts and structures make their use diversified.
