PROBLEM STATEMENT HOUSING NEED ?

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY ?

HOUSING QUALITY ?

• Housing need Population growth has spurred the change in housing demand in Kirklee. According to estimates by 2024, the housing supply will not be enough to meet the population growth. It is estimated that between 2019 and 2024, the number of households in Kirklees will increase from 186,000 to 193,000 which is increasing to 9%. • Housing Affordability • Affordability is a big problem for young households, low-income, intermediate incomes, and single parents." The average (mean) house price in 2017 was £166,7284 ". House prices will tend to increase year by year. • Additionally, rent is also an issue for low-income individuals ( around £500 per month (2016))

• Housing quality • Evidence shows that 6,660 privately rented homes in Kirklees have been involved by property issues "which presents the most serious risk to the health and safety of the property's occupants " (source: BRE 2016). • " Fuel poverty levels in Kirklees are higher than regional and national averages at 13.1% ". Living in cold damp houses is a threat to people's health, especially the increasing number of elderly people. Therefore, not only increasing the number of houses, but we also need to develop strategies to improve the quality of houses to ensure the well-being of residents.

CO-HOUSING MODEL • What is co-housing ? " Cohousing is an approach to creating a community. Often referred to as an intentional community " ("What is cohousing?", 2021) The common cohousing characteristics: • Cohousing is a combination of private housing and shared space that allows people to become part of vibrant community life. Although each person has their own home like traditional houses, residents living in co-housing will share facilities such as dining, workplace, open space, playground, etc. "These common facilities, designed for daily use, are an integral part of the community, and always supplemental to the private residences" • " Residents are the decision-makers and decisions are often based on consensus ". The main objective of this model is residental participation. People manage their own community model. There are no strict rules in place. People decide for themselves when and how they interact with each other. They can get involved in community projects that make their lives liveable and more meaningful.

• The shared house model also encourages social interaction between households. For example, resources can be shared between households. Instead of having to buy the same items, people can share common ones that both save living costs and increase community cohesion.

1.SELF-SUFFICIENT CITY IN CHINA - GUALLART ARCHITECTS - POST COVID HOUSING COMPETITION Self-Sufficient City project at Xiong'an New Area, China by Guallart Architects is a new housing model where it is possible to produce energy and food on its own during the coronavirus lockdown. The project won in the residential residents and community category in the competition organized by the local authority. The concept of the scheme combines the model of a city square with a traditional European courtyard and modern Chinese towers interspersed with allotments and greenhouses. The project consists of 4 blocks alternating between houses and offices, shops, food markets as well as schools, and so on. Food will be grown indoor and outdoor and managed by a system of "co-working digital factories". The building uses cross-laminated timber as wood is a renewable resource and environmentally friendly.

2. URBAN VILLAGE - SUSTANABLE, SHARED LIVING COMMUNITY In the context of the increasing population, people will face a housing and environmental crisis. The need to create livable, sustainable, and affordable co-housing is very urgent nowadays especially in the city environment and urban living. The project "urban village" has created a sustainable friendly living environment for people of all ages, classes, and backgrounds. The group of architects proposed accompanying facilities that bring a better quality of life such as daycare, urban agriculture, shared kitchen, sports, and so on. "For us, shared living can offer potential solutions to some of these urgent challenges, " (Jamiee Williams, 2019 ). The house modules can be disassembled and reused in the future. The buildings use timber as the main material which is environmentally friendly and apply sustainable construction methods to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, the houses are designed in the form of a digital interface to manage and allow residents access to shared services and facilities.

MODULAR CONSTRUCTION What is Modular Construction ? Modular construction is the process by which a building is pre-assembled in the factory rather than at the construction site. Modules are used with the same materials, designed to the same code and standards. After completion, modules will be transported to the construction site to install. Installing process is then easier and saves half the time.

Type of Modular Construction There are 2 types of module construcution including Volumetric modular construction and Panelized construction. • Volumetric modular construction is a process in which all components of the building such as columns, beams, floors, walls, roofs, windows, doors are completely manufactured in the factory and then transported to the construction site to assemble. Subsequent assembly is easy and quick with screw and bolt connections. Both permanent and relocatable modular projects all make use of this style of construction. • Panelized construction is the process of building foundation, columns, beams and floors and so on at the construction site. The interior and exterior wall panels sections are built in a factory and then transported and installed on the construction site. (" Modular Building Institute", 2021)

HISTORY OF MODULAR CONSTRUCTION How exactly did modular construction begin? • Origins " The origins of modular buildings date back to the 1600s " ("The Surprisingly Long History of Modular Construction", 2021). A carpenter named John Manning in London built a prefab house for his son. He then transported each piece of prefabricated house to Land Down Under, Australia for assembly. • 1800 Modular house construction became more common in the 1800s as the United States expanded westward. Because of California Gold Rush, mining towns bloomed. Therefore, the housing demand is on the rise. The series of prefab homes were manufactured factory in New York and then transported to California for fast construction. • 19th century By the end of the 19th century, the trend of building modular houses was increasing. In 1897, the E.F Hodgson company in Dover, Massachusetts developed a project to sell modular houses all over the country. • 20th Century In 1913, when modular houses were developed on assembly lines by Henry Ford, building modular houses became quicker and easier. After World War II, a series of soldiers returned home and they needed houses to be built quickly and at a low cost. • In the following years, the modular construction industry not only stops at building houses but also expands to other functional buildings such as schools, offices, restaurants, and so on. " The benefits of modular construction became clear - it was fast, cost-effective, and infinitely customizable " ("The Surprisingly Long History of Modular Construction", 2021) • 21st Century and Beyond In recent years, the trend of building small modular houses has started to develop. "Again and again, people are discovering how modular homes can be friendly for both the environment and their budget " ("The Surprisingly Long History of Modular

What are the benefits of modular construction compared to traditional construction methods?

Reduced Construction Schedule The most obvious advantage of prefabricated solutions is the faster time construction because they are assembled and manufactured in advance and then was taken to the construction site and built. Projects can be completed 30% to 50% sooner than traditional construction.

Greater Flexibility and Reuse Modular buildings are linked together by a system of bolts and screws, so they can be easily disassembled or refurbished for new purposes, saving construction costs.

Safer Construction Since the modules are assembled in the factory, the risk of accidents for workers is minimized.

Less Material Waste When assembled in the factory, most of the hazardous waste to the environment has been eliminated

Smarter Many prefab models are now controlled by smarter and more advanced building systems

Save cost The components of the modulars are optimally calculated and made from light and environmentally friendly materials. This makes the cost of building prefab houses cheaper than other solutions.

MODULAR BUILDING PRECEDENTS

1. HABITAT 67 - MOSHE SAFDIE ARCHITECT - MONTREAL CANADA Habitat 67 in Montreal Canada was designed by the Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie in1967. The project originated from his university graduation thesis named "A Case for City Living" in 1961. After that Safdie developed and supplemented his original thesis into complete a master plan with shopping centers, schools, and 1000 housing units. However, when proposing to the government, the number of apartments decreased to only 158 units. What is different about the project is that Safdie has developed a prefabricated module to reduce costs while integrating the characteristics of a suburban house into the urban center. By stacking blocks on top of each other and stepping back each block from the surrounding neighbors, each apartment has a private garden, fresh air, and plenty of natural light. Apartments of various shapes and sizes are connected by steel cables. Each apartment is accessed by a pedestrian bridge along with 3 elevator cores. In addition, the service areas and parking are located on the ground floor, separate from the apartments.

2. HABITAT 2.0 - BIG FIRM - TOROTO CANADA

A proposal of a mixed-use complex by BIG architecture firm at Toronto based on a similar concept to the Habitat 67 housing by Israeli-Canadian architect Moshe Safdie that has been built in Montreal. The King Toronto project was approved design option in 2016. BIG's firm project includes stacks of cubes, arranged in an undulated form to creates a series of "peaks and valleys". "With King Street West, we wanted to find an alternative to the tower and podium you see a lot of in Toronto and revisit some of Safdie's revolutionary ideas," (Ingels, 2016). "But rather than a utopian experiment on an island, have it nested into the heart of the city." The idea of the complex comes from a hollow rectangular. Inside space is a large communal courtyard for residents. The area of the project is 57,000-squaremetre. The building is built based on the form of cuboidal modules, each module is 45 degrees diagonal to get more sunlight into the courtyard inside. The upper part is a residential block up to 15 to 17 floors high. The ground floor has an opening space that allows pedestrian access to the inner courtyard. Like Habitat 67, the arrangement of modules will bring about balconies and terraces for each apartment. All arrangements are oriented to improve access to natural light. In addition to the green spaces, the project also wants to create urban farming in the inner core space. 09

3.DORTHEAVEJ RESIDENCE / BIG FIRM - SOCIAL HOUSING - COPENHAGEN, DENMARK Dortheavej Residence designed by BIG architecture firms is an apartment complex located in the northwest part of Copenhagen. The 5-story building is built on a prefab structure with modules stacked on top of each other to form a curved line. The stacking gives each apartment a small terrace increasing connection with nature and providing a sustainable healthy living space. Apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows create a large view into the outside courtyard and get as much sunlight as possible. In addition, the building also has open spaces so that people can easily access the green courtyard inside.

4.BEYOND THE SHELL - FIRST PRIZE - AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPETION IN LONDON A project proposed by Lianjie Wu called “ Beyond the Shell “ win the first prize at the affordable housing London competition. The project combines many modules and multi-story that stacked on top of each other with public and private spaces of different sizes. One interesting thing about this project is that “it has an unfinished shell.” That is, the house will be built with layers of rough structure and it will be developed depending on the needs of each individual. This is an idea to take advantage of the labor of the population to cut construction costs . Wu relied on core design principles of housebuilder Naked House, to develop her ideas. According to Wu, she wants to create a community where people have more say in the use of their homes. Project participants will give instruction on how to build their housing along with a list of components needed to create their own style homes.

5. LAS PALMAS MODULAR - STEINBERG HART - LOS ANGELES In fact, modular construction is more and more widely used. Prefabricated houses help speed up the construction process, save costs and reduce environmental pollution. A project called LAS PALMAS in Los Angeles was designed by architecture firm Steinberg Hart including 69 affordable housing units using assembled modular units. Diverse facade forms with undulating modular blocks. The project is located on a long, narrow site with 14,200 square feet of ground-floor retail spaces and apartment units. With the innovative construction method, the housing units will be equipped with custom furniture including tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds, and desks, and so on to suit each household's requirements.

8. NIGHTINGALE DISASSEMBLED - STUDENT PROJECT " Being standardization a key enabler of disassembly, the design starts by defining six apartment typologies which placed together in different orientations make way for the final building form. In terms of materiality, the project's structure is made out of CLT, prefabricated off-site, and brought to site for assembly " ( Maria Yanez, 2020 )

9. 79& PARK / BIG STUDIO - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN A more scheme designed by a BIG studio which is an apartment complex named 79 & Park in Stockholm, Sweden " looks like a verdant wooden hillside ". The wooden-clad apartments on the outside are arranged around a central green courtyard - a familiar European model. The building is built more flexibly and cheaply with the familiar prefabricated structure. There are a total of 79 units, each with its own and shared terrace. Each square module has a size of 3.6mx3.6m arranged in a stepped design. A dog daycare, bicycle parking, and a preschool are among the communal amenities available to residents of the apartment building.

URBAN STUDY

URBAN GROUP SCHEME The group's vision by 2049 is to develop an innovative and agricultural town and a sustainable one with eco-friendly self-driving cars. • Phase 1 Formation and development of Urban Agriculture Training Centre to train the community in agriculture and Agricultural Research centers to research advanced and innovative agricultural methods. • Phase 2 Because of the growing agricultural center, demand for the workforce and for housing is also increasing. Therefore, in phase two, the accommodation zones will replace the vacant buildings to meet housing needs. Besides, a mix- housing complex will be built. At the same time, the space in front of the Huddersfield rail station will be designed to develop Social Culture and Innovation Hub. • Phase 3 Due to the effort to reduce personal car and encourage the use of public transport, the half lane of the ring road will be reduced and switched into green space and planted more trees. Besides, parking lots in the city will also be converted into community farms At that time, Huddersfield will be a famous urban agriculture town. FHuUtDu D r eE RoSf FHI EuLdDd e r s f i e l d

By 2029, the world’s 11 largest automakers including Nissan, Hyundai, Daimler, BMW and Tesla can produce the urban self-driving car. The concept of car-sharing will spread out as the A.I. vehicles can catch the passengers by itself. People will consider not to own their own car. The demand for street parking will decrease and some of the minor streets will turn into pedestrian zones, such as Wood Street, High Street, Albion Street, Corporation Street and Peel Street.

Pg 120

At that time, Huddersfield will launch the first phase of Urben Agriculture Training and Trading centre at Lun Fung Chan’s site. And Agriculture Innovation Research will be started at Thu Ha Ngo’ site. At the same time, the space in front of Huddersfield rail station will be designed under Fatma Durak to develop the first phase of Social Culture and Innovation Hub.

By 2039, the convenience of A.I. car-sharing will lead to the number of private cars continue to decrease and more streets will turn into pedestrian zones.

And southeast part of the town centre will redevelop into accommodation for students and researchers. Phase two of Fatma’s project will also be started.

The success of Urben Agriculture Training and Trading project brings in more community farming which converts from the unused parking space in the town.

The existing commercial zone in the southern town centre will be integrated into better quality to support the development.

The vacuum buildings in the town centre will be turn into residential use for the increasing numbers of workers and researchers.

To fulfill the increasing demand of housing, Precious residential development will take place at the northern site from Lun’s.

AFFORDABLE

• Flexible The project would provide a variety of apartment types instead of some basic standard models. There are different units from 1 bedroom, 2 bedrooms to 4 bedrooms. Therefore, whether you are single, or a couple, or a group of friends, a small family, or even a multi-generational family, there are always suitable options. If you want a different living experience, you can still stay in the community and swap your apartment for other households who are also looking for a change in their lives. • Liveable The interesting thing about the scheme is the combination of private living and communal spaces allow people to become part of a large community. This makes their lives more meaningful and worth living. Residents can share common facilities such as dining, shared garden, fitness, shared allotments, co-working space, playground for kids, etc. regardless of age all ages, backgrounds, and living situations. • Sustainable Modular construction is a form of construction where the building's components are assembled off-site at the factory and then transported to the construction site for assembly. This will benefit the environment because toxic wastes have been eliminated during the manufactury process to avoid discharge into the environment. In addition, the project also creates green spaces increasing connection with nature and providing a sustainable healthy living space. • Affordabble A modular construction system that would be pre-fabricated, mass-produced, flat-packed, and being shipped would help reduce construction costs. On the other hand, by buying "shares", people can gradually become homeowners. They won't need to make expensive upfront payments to own a house and rents will still be cheap.
