The Future is MOD[us]
Team VIRTU/e comes forward with a unique proposal for a new common space on the TU/e campus: MEET/us, specifically designed to enhance well-being and social cohesion among students.
Team VIRTU/e envisions a drastic change in the Dutch housing market that would allow every student to easily find housing in their study city without depending on winning housing lotteries or on the expensive private housing sector. Furthermore, the team believes that the Dutch housing crisis causes a loss of human and academic potential, with many students giving up on their ambition of studying at university because they cannot find housing.
MEET/us is defined as a unique, spacious, and versatile hub that responds directly to students’ desires for larger, more diverse common spaces on the university campus.
Flexibility and adaptability are some of Team VIRTU/e's core values and it is crucial for our project to reflect and honour these beliefs. Given its scalability, MOD[us] provides for a highly flexible student housing project which can be easily adapted to the needs of the market and users.
