In this project, we employ contrasting conceptual building baseline models to illustrate the potential climate futures for the city. Rather than focusing solely on typical overheating concerns, the architecture also incorporates thoughtful solutions
The protocol’s primary objective is to develop a new vision and standards for urban design that address unpredictable weather conditions. In addition, the project aims to achieve a 30% reduction in production costs per square meter through advanced
The core of the design brief centers on creating 3D volumetric wood and hybrid modules for multi-story, private, and mixed-use projects. These modules will consist of structural wall panels, columns, and floor slabs, forming a robust and stable load

We prioritize enhancing architectural diversity by emphasizing the visual appeal, performance, and adaptability of buildings. Design diversity includes the variety of shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and configurations achievable with modular exter
Despite the simplicity of the grid structure and module type, this system allows for the creation of a variety of building types based on only two types of modules, for private and public functions. The structural grid provides a framework that can
The brief focuses on the idea that modular automated solutions could help increase the diversity of design tools by providing affordable automated project frameworks for integrating new innovative ideas, especially in the field of green sustainable

The external facade module can have a variety of geometries. It is designed to give the building a distinctive look and offer protection from different weather conditions. The module can be constructed using various materials including metal, glass,
We utilize Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a comprehensive tool for conducting environmental impact assessments on entire buildings, manufactured products, and material assemblies. The LCA analysis evaluates both direct and indirect inputs—such as en
By considering the entire life cycle of a material—from resource extraction to end-of-life disposal—LCA provides a comprehensive understanding of the total environmental impacts associated with a new building across various weather and climate condi
The challenge to the status quo. We present a forward-thinking vision for modular, multi-story buildings that integrate private and mixed-use functions, responding directly to the evolving demands of environmental sustainability. Designed with the
Automated construction presents a challenge to architectural diversity. While it can lead to standardization and fewer unique designs, resulting in similar-looking buildings, it also has the potential to reduce costs for more complex forms.
The exterior of the building could be clad in wood and aluminum prefabricated 3D and 2D components The facade system should be designed in a manner that collaborates with the climate. This should involve incorporating shading mechanisms to reduce o
In the face of extreme weather conditions, architecture acts as a landscape that collects grey water, filters air, and insulates interior spaces through the use of rammed earth and greenery. These seemingly controversial forms and façade solutions p
The combination of two types of modules can create a complex architectural structure with developed horizontal public space, a retail stylobate, and vertical residential units.
