Student housing unit in a floor area without corridors

Abstract

This paper treats the issues of position and urbarchitectonic-functional organization of a housing unit in a floor area without corridors in a student hostel. The authors advocate a new, more rational and functional concept in which the student room is not in direct contact with the corridor communication, but belongs to the housing unit, student apartment for 4-6 users. In a more rational organized volume, the living of the students is more comfortable and has a different character. The socialization conditions for the users are better, and the conditions for efficient studying more stable. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike Srbije, br.
