Conviviality in cooperative housing, La Borda
Conviviality in cooperative housing, La Borda
Systemic challenge
Housing in Barcelona and across the world is far from being fulfilled as a human right, whereas is becoming one of the main assets for the financial sector. On top of this there are signs of how this is contributing to the unsustainability of our lifestyles.
Concrete challenge
We supported La Borda, a pioneering shared ownership housing cooperative in Barcelona, to foster more convivial and sustainable lifestyles in their community through the design of the shared every day life services and practices.
Impact
- 8 services designed, 6 implemented so far
- Internal capacity to design and evolve convivial practices and services
- On indicators such as:
- energy consumption
- water consumption
- waste generated
- C02
- gender balance
Interventions
Co-design research, co-concept development, co-design and implementation of services.
