The ISCTE-IUL stand built for the GREENFEST 2014 sustainability fair was made with a constructive structure previously developed at Vitruvius FabLab of ISCTE-IUL for the international workshop ‘Contemporary living patterns in mass housing in Europe’ organized within project ‘OIKONET: a global multidisciplinary network on housing research and learning’, co-financed by the European Union. It was attended by 50 students and 20 professors of 16 European Universities. “Portela de Sacavém” and “Bairro da Liberdade” neighbourhoods worked as case-studies. The purpose of the workshop was to increment an interdisciplinary dialog to develop an adaptive housing project through customized OSB wood panels and readapt pre-existing houses to contemporary living patterns.

The stand used two OSB ring structures of the workshop containing features of four different projects that were used for different purposes whilst in the fair, combined with a floor and wall for the ISCTE-IUL logo and TV. All the elements used in the stand (plants, tools or clothesline) acted as a way to show the different functions for each housing project.
