Competition: Modular Timber Housing

How can modular timber construction be used to respond to the contemporary housing crisis? How to achieve the greatest architectural variety with the fewest building elements possible?

The competition aims to find innovative ideas for a universal modular timber building system. The ideas must be based on real needs, with an eye to the future.

We want to redefine the construction industry as the production of standard elements and create a new, more efficient construction system that is both durable and sustainable.

We are looking for design solutions for basic prefabricated modules that allow the greatest possible variety of housing units and typological adaptation to different locations.
