A study on application of supportive housing in Chinese affordable housing

Due to relatively primitive construction methods and insufficient relevant design experiences, resource and energy waste is still a major concern in Chinese affordable housing in recently years. Assessing basing on the information of the currently available technology and construction method, it is unlikely that the above issue can be resolved in the next a few years. Therefore, it is imperative to introduce a new affordable residential typology named Chinese Skeleton Infill - CSI housing. After studying the inherent characteristics of this new supportive housing typology, it is believed that it can effectively improve the current situation with energy and resource consumption. It is believed that the CSI housing can be suitably applied in affordable housing project and bring social and economic significance.
