Text description provided by the architects. We are temporary visitors to this planet. It is important that we don’t leave any footprints that impact future generations. Therefore, we must cohabit with nature and not inhabit it. Permanently impermanent buildings are the future. Darwin is designed as a prefabricated kit of parts that can be dry-assembled on-site (and disassembled when required). It is made from legacy materials like steel, wood, aluminum, and glass. The durability and cost of a Darwin are comparable to that of a conventional building. It does not require a plinth to build on, heavy equipment to transport, or cranes to erect. Hence, a Darwin Product is ideal for locations where road access is difficult, electricity scarce and excavation is undesirable.
