Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez, founders of MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos, maintain a line of work focused on research and innovation in social housing and sustainability. In this context, Marta Pelegrín has organised the exhibition “Home&Office?: UPCYCLE POSTWAR MASS SOCIAL HOUSING” in Mainz, presenting the results of research and teaching on the design of an architectural prototype for the sustainable rehabilitation of post-war social housing in Germany.
The exhibition features an analogue prototype, a 1:1 scale mock-up and scale models, alongside a digital prototype accessible via Hololens and VR-lens. In addition, intervention proposals are presented for the residential sectors (Siedlungen) built in the post-war period in Mainz, addressing both energy-efficient and constructive rehabilitation, as well as the sustainable adaptation of these environments to contemporary domestic programmes.
This initiative reinforces MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos’ commitment to applied research, knowledge transfer, and the improvement of quality of life through sustainable and socially responsible architecture.
