During the various lockdowns, flats that needed to be bigger, more distributed, or more modern did not help to organise one&#8217;s time or daily activities (studying, working, exercising, or simply secluding oneself) in the best possible way. Redesigning the existing seems a possible solution, not by demolishing obsolete dwellings, but by adapting them through &#8216;light systems,&#8217; i.e., through furnishings: an &#8216;ex-post&#8217; intervention that can redevelop spaces by leveraging the concepts of transformability and flexibility. Lessons can be learned in this respect, from the history of modern housing to contemporary experience. The article broadly traces this history (with a look at the culture of Italian living) so that from experience, we can learn solutions for living in the future.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[Resumen Entre los muchos problemas que ha puesto de manifiesto la reciente pandemia de COVID-19 está la inadecuación de muchas viviendas para alojar a las personas durante una emergencia sanitaria. Durante los diversos encierros, los pisos que debían ser más grandes, más distribuidos o más modernos no ayudaban a organizar el tiempo ni las actividades cotidianas (estudiar, trabajar, hacer ejercicio o simplemente recluirse) de la mejor manera posible. Rediseñar lo existente parece una posible solución, no demoliendo viviendas obsoletas, sino adaptándolas mediante un &#8220;sistema ligero&#8221;, come el mobiliario: una intervención &#8220;a posteriori&#8221; que puede reurbanizar los espacios aprovechando los conceptos de transformabilidad y flexibilidad. Se pueden extraer lecciones en este sentido, desde la historia de la vivienda moderna hasta la experiencia contemporánea. El artículo traza a grandes rasgos esta historia (con una mirada a la cultura de la vivienda italiana) para que, de la experiencia pasada, podamos aprender soluciones para vivir en el futuro.]]></p></abstract>
