INTRODUCTION
The housing prices in Amsterdam are skyrocketing, creating a lack in affordable housing. Families are therefore moving out of the city creating a lack in social diversity. Within the context of Amsterdam Haven-Stad there is an opportunity to design affordable housing that offers a higher spatial quality of dwelling than the current market is able to provide. The design assignment is about transforming a plot in Amsterdam Sloterdijk Zuid. This plot is currently part of an industrial area. This will be transformed towards a residential building that provides space for working and living with an emphasis on dwellings for families. The goal of this graduation project is to create affordable family homes that are relatively small yet feel spacious. With a computational strategy to generate more possible design solutions than one would be able to do by hand.
