The GENEROSITY series is dedicated to the design of collective housing. After the Density series, which warned about the importance of living in a compact and balanced environment, the second series of a+t magazine dedicated to housing is committed to the generosity of design, which translates into strategies identified in four groups:

• Indeterminacy Strategies: focused on enhancing spatiality and flexibility.
• Strategies of Exteriority: aimed at improving the relationship with the environment.
• Privacy Strategies: aimed at building a protected place of their own.
  Interactivity strategies: capable of promoting interrelation and cohesion between residents.

The third issue of the series, The Challenge of Privacy in Collective Housing, delves into the keys to a home that protects privacy and at the same time relates without conflict with its environment.
