Tiny houses. International trend and didactic approach. Wood construction feasibility

Abstract

This article has two objectives related to the topic “tiny houses”. The first is to inquire about the feasibility of implementing tiny houses in the context of the Northeast Region of Argentina, considering for its construction wood from implanted forests, since it is an abundant material and has high environmental benefits throughout its life cycle. The second objective is to present the didactic experience of a subject whose theme refers to the rationalized and industrialized construction that in the 2020 school year adopted the “tiny houses” as a problem topic, in the context of a pandemic, catalyzing a more intensive use of tools of virtuality in education. The results show a high assessment by the students of both the theme adopted and the didactic approach developed.
