There are increasing efforts to ‘transform the current linear approach to the design of buildings that has one end­of­life option (demolition) to a circular design solution that will guarantee multiple life options of the building and its systems, products, and materials.’ (Durmisevic, 2018) The studio proposes to utilize industrial production processes and technologies to realize a compact habitation unit that considers the various parameters listed in the above approach.
