Adapting Architectural Theories by specifying criteria for compliance with new requirements. The implementation of the Open Building in Residential Building

Abstract

This research is a small part of the complete PhD. The origin is the need for the methodology which allows the implementation of Open Building theory, recognized internationally. Having examined the state of the art, there is a need to redefine the criteria previously defined by the original theory. The reasons were mainly two, the obsolescence of the original defining criteria, and adapting to a specific market, in this case, social housing in our country.

The new criteria are defined by the requirements which must be met to achieve the objectives in research, a new concept of sustainable housing, industrialized and flexible and able to adapt to changes. It is a complex process, based on the search for specific targets, which allows us to bring theory closer to practice.
