Modular Architecture Essay Competition

Modular architecture is one of the most dynamic components of design, offering versatile solutions in creating efficient and sustainable spaces. Modules can be used as both the building blocks of a structure and standalone elements, adding customisation to projects without incurring excessive costs. 

The Modular Architecture Essay Competition is being run in tandem with the Modular Home Design Challenge 2021, in which participants are tasked with designing a modular home that can be constructed in any form or layout in any location in the world. This essay competition is calling for submissions that offer a critical analysis of modular architecture and how it can be used to revolutionise architectural design in both residential and commercial spaces. 

How has modular construction enabled more sustainable designs? How has modular architecture been integrated into standard practice? What is the global impact of modular design trends and how will the future of architecture be impacted by this versatile design component? 

Winning entries will be featured in the next edition of ARCHHIVE BOOKS’ ‘Modular Architecture’ publication, alongside the winning entries of the design competition. Participants are welcome to enter either competition separately or both of them together.
