This project proposes an environmentally responsible, affordable, and easy-to-assemble housing system that promotes both social equity and sustainability. In response to the high energy demand and embodied carbon associated with conventional concrete and steel construction, the design uses a low-cost, low-tech modular system that can be efficiently assembled and adapted to different sites. Its flexible configuration allows residents to customize their homes while providing accessible and dignified housing for a wider range of communities.
