Abstract

The present work addresses the subject of Additive Architecture by means of the ideation of sets of habitable emergency enclosures, materialised with mixed technologies for the Litoral Centro xxx region. The case of application, emergency housing, poses a "complex existential phenomenon" in Latin America, where the temporary inevitably becomes permanent, preserving its identity and initial precariousness for a long time. Assuming the challenge of transforming temporary housing as a permanent habitat, parametric definitions are designed that synthesise the current material restrictions of 3D printing technologies in South America (know- how of leading researchers), a technical solution is developed with mixed technologies and growth variables of contingency settlements are explored as emerging landscapes of current techno-diversity and their projection as future technopolitics.
