In un contesto globale caratterizzato da una crescente mobilità e da rapidi cambiamenti tecnologici e sociali, questa tesi esplora l’evoluzione del concetto di abitare per l’uomo moderno, evidenziando come la “società liquida” abbia trasformato la percezione dello spazio domestico. La ricerca si concentra sulla figura del nomade globale, un individuo che trova la propria meta nello spostamento continuo, ma che deve affrontare la sfida di mantenere un senso di identità e appartenenza in un mondo sempre più instabile. Attraverso un approccio interdisciplinare che include analisi teoriche, studio di casi reali, indagini empiriche e sviluppo di progetti modulari, la tesi esamina come le abitazioni mobili e gli spazi temporanei possano rispondere alle esigenze di una società in movimento. Particolare attenzione è dedicata agli studenti fuori sede, simbolo di una generazione che vive in uno stato di perenne transitorietà. Il progetto Eudossia, ispirato alla città invisibile descritta da Italo Calvino, rappresenta una soluzione innovativa che combina flessibilità e modularità per offrire un senso di casa anche in contesti temporanei. Questo prodotto mira a orientare il nomade moderno, fornendo familiarità e stabilità attraverso la sua conformazione In conclusione, la tesi sottolinea la necessità di ripensare l’abitare contemporaneo in chiave dinamica e flessibile, riconoscendo l’importanza del sentimento di casa in un mondo in continuo movimento. La ricerca propone nuovi paradigmi progettuali per l’architettura e il design, capaci di integrare innovazione e umanità, creando spazi abitativi che rispondano ai cambiamenti socio-culturali e alle esigenze dei neo-nomadi. E se è nell’abitudine di Agnes Heller che ritroviamo l’immediatezza dell’io e il sentimento di casa, Eudossia ne incarna il concetto, si ripete in ogni ambiente nuovo o vecchio, mostrando la sua natura camaleontica e flessibile, frammento di casa, accompagna l’uomo nell’erranza, senza lasciarlo mai solo. La tesi evidenzia come il concetto di abitare sia in costante evoluzione, adattandosi alle trasformazioni socio-culturali e alle esigenze di una società sempre più mobile. Il neo-nomadismo non è solo una tendenza temporanea, ma un vero e proprio cambiamento di paradigma che richiede nuove strategie di progettazione e gestione degli spazi abitativi. Il progetto Eudossia dimostra che è possibile creare soluzioni abitative temporanee che non solo rispondano ai bisogni funzionali dei nomadi moderni, ma che riescano anche a infondere un senso di appartenenza e stabilità. La flessibilità e la modularità degli spazi abitativi proposti in Eudossia, rappresentano una risposta efficace alle sfide poste dai cambiamenti sociali, offrendo ai suoi abitanti la possibilità di sentirsi “a casa” anche in contesti temporanei. In conclusione, l’abitare contemporaneo deve essere ripensato in chiave dinamica e flessibile, riconoscendo l’importanza del sentimento di casa anche in un mondo in continuo movimento. Questa ricerca contribuisce a delineare nuovi orizzonti per l’architettura e il design, proponendo soluzioni che integrano innovazione e umanità, in un equilibrio tra stabilità e mobilità.

Abstract
In a global context characterized by increasing mobility and rapid technological and social changes, this thesis explores the evolution of the concept of living for modern man, highlighting how the “liquid society” has transformed the perception of domestic space. The research focuses on the figure of the global nomad, an individual who finds his or her goal in continuous movement, but who must face the challenge of maintaining a sense of identity and belonging in an increasingly unstable world. Through an interdisciplinary approach that includes theoretical analysis, case studies, empirical investigations and development of modular projects, the thesis examines how mobile homes and temporary spaces can respond to the needs of a society on the move. Particular attention is paid to off-site students, a symbol of a generation that lives in a state of perpetual transience. The Eudossia project, inspired by the invisible city described by Italo Calvino, represents an innovative solution that combines flexibility and modularity to offer a sense of home even in temporary contexts.
