Modular Timber Housing: The Future of Living in Sustainable Timber Buildings. Open Call.

How can modular timber construction be used to respond to the contemporary housing crisis?
How to achieve the greatest architectural variety with the fewest building elements possible?
Can we redefine the construction industry as the production of standard elements and create a new, more efficient construction system that is both durable and sustainable?

We aim to find innovative ideas for a universal modular timber building system. The ideas must be based on real needs, with an eye to the future.
We are looking for design solutions for basic prefabricated modules that allow the greatest possible variety of housing units and typological adaptation to different locations.
The basic building block is the panel—a wall whose basic material is wood. The panels developed by Modular Timber™ will be fully prefabricated from the inner to the outer layers.
The starting point of the competition is thus the development of a basic set of panels and an architectural typology based on this set.
