Human Ingenuity
Issue 52
Prefab and modular homes are a dynamic force in the housing market right now. As their affordability and sustainability grow more and more popular, so do the ways in which they are designed.
Amidst growing climate concerns, sustainability must be deeply fundamental in the design and development of builds. Stemming not only from low impact and energy efficient sites, a healthy building is underpinned by a network of informed and adaptive decision-making processes. The ability to create a space that is functional, honours integrity in both materiality and structure, and, connects people to their surrounding landscape in a self-sustaining way encapsulates the value of sustainable architecture in both an environmental and broader community context.
