Modern housing covers residential architecture shaped by current needs for density, affordability, adaptability, and environmental performance. Designers working in this area respond to urban infill sites, existing building stock, and the social and economic conditions that determine who a home is built for.

Work under this topic ranges from renovated historic neighborhoods and apartment developments to single-family houses, low-cost community housing, and experimental small-scale dwellings. Projects are presented alongside their planning context, construction methods, and the people they serve.

Farm/House, A Hustle Hub for Young Hustler

Farm/House is a new housing strategy that combines housing with urban farming. Here, a young hustler who doesn't have much money to rent a house at the city center can rent as they need. They can rent the initial minimum house unit that can be extended later. The unused housing space that they don't rent will work as urban farming. Simple and profitable!

Gen-House

Gen-House is aimed at high efficiency construction and community bond formation. Using Wallacei X, a genetic algorithm, we calculated the most suitable juxtaposition of the building blocks considering density, sunlight, view, distance and convenience, hoping it can help not only widows of Zanabad, but all refugees suffering from war.
