About Discussions Projects25 Journals8

Flat pack design applies principles of efficient storage, transportation, and assembly to architecture and products. This approach prioritizes systems that can be broken down into components, shipped compactly, and reconfigured on site.

The community explores folding mechanisms, modular housing units, portable structures, and plug-and-play systems that adapt to different contexts. Work ranges from student accommodation and temporary shelters to flexible interior solutions and expandable spatial systems.
