The European block as a renewed spatial entity among collective living, functional autonomy and sustainability

The regeneration of the existing urban texture by understanding and defining new solutions is a priority in the current health crisis. In this context, this work aims to explore the potential of a type-morphological model already fully inserted in the line of the European city development: the urban block as structural core that generates the urban fabric. The proposed actualization lies in the possible maintenance of the traditional characteristics and at the same time in its reinterpretation, guaranteeing a collective residential dimension despite the potential isolation - in terms of health, functionality and energy - from the surrounding urban texture.
