Throughout 20th century, in Spain, the ways of living in colectivity have changed more than the types of houses lodge that them. Anyway these changes have finished being reflected to the interior of the block that is created to organize them, in their common elements and the apartments in which their more private activities are closed.

The familiar structures and their habits, throughout the past century and at present, contribute new uses to a space that in a very slow form offers answers in the design of the houses. From the organization and hierarchy of the spaces, to the modification of his program, the kitchen, the hall, the rooms, the baths and the different pieces with which we are familiarized they have changed and they changed throughout our lives without the structure of the apartment in which we lived is sufficient the flexible thing to adapt to them.

The following videos show to us in a very general form the modifications in the spaces that shelter common or individual uses to the interior of the apartments. They belong to the exhibition organized by the Spanish Ministry of Housing on “ Social housing, History of a necesity”. They are an index, fast notes that do not get to illustrate the history of the happened thing, but allow to make us reflect on the future of the residential structures, and the necessity of house for everybody.
