The LONG-PLAN designed by the Team SCUT-POLITO is tailor-made for urban emerging family.
A strategic design concept which takes into account different main designing and sustainable goals of the last decades.
Firstly, how much the population dynamics increases during the last years and the energy consumption in residential buildings put enormous pressure on global ecology. Secondly, the development of urban housing today presents a series of pathological problems; the younger generation is under heavy housing employment pressure. Thirdly, due to the traditional residential construction without preservation, the traditional context in modern development slowly falls apart.

LONG-PLAN can respond to the energy sources and social issues caused by global urbanization, proposing an innovative design of a modern dwelling based on zero‑energy consumption.
With the aim to create a new neighbourhood based on principles of life experience of Ecology, Humanities and Technology.
