Modular Architecture - Architecture as Food for Architecture: What I know of so far

Negatives:

  • What do we do with the waste if it cannot be recycled

  • How do we eliminate waste

  • Can have 'cheap' look

  • Off site assembly - Embodied energy (transportation)

Positives:



  • Cab adapt to changes in society

  • Manipulate function and the way people manoeuvre around spaces in coherence with societal changes. eg. The way society perceives certain functions and building typologies.

  • Cheap and easy to construct

  • Can be re-used, recycled, upcycled
