TEAM POINT OF VIEW — Prototype concept.
The integration of the modular construction system through timberwork mobilises urban niches, enabling space-saving realisations of new living and community areas in a short period of time. Building with CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) massive wood offers many advantages over conventional construction materials, with considerably less “grey energy”, from the extraction of raw materials all the way to waste disposal. The quadratic base module is continuously reconstructed to different sized patterns, whereby it forms the foundation for Rapid Manufacturing. The basic design can be adapted to different situations, resulting in endless opportunities for reconfiguration in order to develop location-specific proposals. JURY POINT OF VIEW — The design convinces with its moderate
building height and building size, which can be flexibly adapted to the respective sites and also result in an increased number of storeys at suitable sites. As a result, the use of this system can come into its own in an inner-city area as well as in a loose settlement area. The public uses planned for the ground floor, which can also be expanded, offer added value for the residents and enliven the open areas. The project provides answers to the various challenges in the residential construction of the future and can be used in a versatile way without seeming arbitrary, even if its use at the properties to be worked on seems insufficiently concentrated.
