Habitation Unit 2023

The global construction sector consumes significant resources, generates substantial waste and is responsible for the emission of atmospheric pollutants. There are increasing efforts to transform the current linear approach to design of buildings that has one end-of-life option (demolition) to a circular design solution that will guarantee multiple life options of the building as well as of its systems, products, and materials. The studio proposes to utilize industrial production processes and technologies to realize a compact habitation unit which takes into consideration the various parameters listed in the above approach. Key words - off-grid | circular design | sustainability
