PLATFORM + ADVANCED TOOLS Today, i t is getting m ore and m ore difficult to o wn a house. People end up submitting to rent or debt, sending money of t he m ajority to a few. Housing cooperatives try to bring home ownership into their own hands.

However, they havent created as big an impact because they lack access to two things: A common platform and construction technology t hat a llows t hem t o build faster and easier.

Why is t his important? Why do w e need v ersatile and non-intrusive m achines? B ecause l and f or housing i s expensive and scarce. However, there are many small, cheaper, irregular l ots located a round l ondon t hat a re difficult go deal with by large developers or conventional construction methods.

We tackle this issue through MOBO. MOBO is a housing system with a housing platform and its own construction tools.

HOUSING PLATFORM

Objectives of Architectural Spaces

The housing platform helps cooperatives by con- necting them to land and people.

The p latform a lso allows t hem t o input their needs and p references t o create a system generated design. How does this work? Funding i s done b y cooperatives who gain ownership in the form of shares.

This way, housing is made accessible to those who don’t have yet the full amount of money to afford an entire house.

Sheltered Accomodation a term covering a wide range of rented housing for older and/or disabled or other vulnerable people. In the United Kingdom most commonly it refers to grouped housing such as a block or "scheme" of flats or bungalows with a scheme manager, therefore to create a community which offer the comfortable living enviroment with beautiful nature and caring system is the main concept of this project To create the atmosphere of peace and comfortable living enviroment, using raw marterial fom local natrue, the context of stone , wood and fabric can offer user more calm and safty feeling and also define the public and pricacy area.

A New SKYLINE In Taiwan, there are several problems we are f acing. L arge cosmopolitan u rban areas such a s the nation's capital city, Taipei, have extremely h igh population densities. The T aiwanese h ave dealt with the problem o f space m ostly b y expanding upwards i nstead o f spreading out horizontally. Most r ow houses and duplex apartments have large, unpainted metal water tanks placed on the top of the buildings, some of which are covered by irregular metal sheets to reduce t he heat absorbed b y the building and t o mitigate leakage w hen i t rains.

Consider green energy as an alternative solution, O rchid house can r eplace t he traditional matel sheet roof tops to an Sustainable development, self-energy providing m odular units t o plug-in t he original c ity context and r enovated t he new skyline of the city.

Housing type study In Taiwan, there are several problems we are facing. Large cosmopolitan urban areas such as the nation's capital city, Taipei, have extremely high population densities. The Taiwanese have dealt with the problem of space mostly by expanding upwards instead of spreading out horizontally. Most row houses and duplex apartments have large, unpainted metal water tanks placed on the top of the buildings, some of which are covered by irregular metal sheets to reduce the heat absorbed by the building and to mitigate leakage when it rains.

While an effective solution, this way of development does cause several problems, such as an unattractive city skyline and extreme heat and humidity. Furthermore, although the household density is very high, Taiwan's social housing system, which is currently only at 0.8%, is in need of reform.

As one of the largest solar panel manufactures in the world, Taiwan has to be more conscious on green energy and social awareness.

In designing the solar house with the intention of placing it on the rooftops of pre-existing buildings, we also hope to improve living standards of the city population and the visual aesthetic of the city skyline. Currently, most row houses and duplex apartments face the problems such as leakage and overheated roof. Besides collecting the solar energy, the Orchid House will integrate the new and exiting mechanical and plumbing pipes, increase rain water collection and reduce heat island effect.
