Given the site considerations, it is my intention to address a single theme through architectural applications:

1. Modular prefabrication and architecture: How do we incorporate prefabrication and modularity into architecture, without being fundamentally driven by the typical advantages that have been historically associated with it? Can the arrangement of modules become a defining architectural element? How do we begin to make modularity and prefabrication an architectural element of aesthetic without diminishing the advantages that it presents?

Horizontal orientation

6 Modules are arranged covering a 20x10’ area

Each modular element has its own structural system. The module reaches a projection of up to 2 feet from the structural system, creating a maximum of 5 feet of plenum space and a minimum of 1 foot (based on 1 foot beam).

The structural system of each module is shared with the adjacent. This creates a network of beams and columns which defines an overall structural system.
