Reimagining Urban Living with Modular Architecture

The Infinite Dynamic Community, a shortlisted entry in the Plugin Housing Challenge 2020, envisions a housing solution that is selectable, flexible, and predictable. This approach fosters an evolving urban habitat, where residents have the power to design, modify, and relocate their living spaces as needed.

Key Features of the Project:

  • Modular Housing Growth: Inspired by the self-evolving nature of urban villages, this model supports free growth and adaptability.
  • Public Space Integration: The design ensures a balance between private and communal spaces, promoting social interaction and community engagement.
  • Customizable Living Units: Residents can personalize and rearrange their modular homes, aligning with modern urban living dynamics.
  • Smart Technology Integration: Automated adjustments allow efficient space reallocation based on temporary demands and user preferences.
