The Balcony: Social Importance

Abstract

An analysis of the balcony allows us to know its importance in social interest housing. Referential cases are reviewed, comparing several examples. All of the above this allows us to be sure of including a balcony in social interest homes. The presence of a balcony in social interest homes is a need confirmed by the pandemic. From its beginnings as a recreational use in countries with suitable climates, the balcony has evolved and has manifested itself as the intermediate space between the interior and exterior of a multi-family dwelling. In addition to the social use of these balconies, its importance as an element of composition in architectural design is seen.
