London studio Morris + Company has designed a modular and prefabricated housing system named MODU that is aimed at the South American market.
Morris + Company created the modular system for Argentina-based prefabricated housing company Phäbb as one of a series of designs aimed initially at the South American market.
The architecture studio designed a range of flexible modular elements that can be combined to create single homes or entire apartment blocks.
倫敦工作室Morris + Company設計了一種名為MODU的模塊化預製房屋系統，該系統針對南美市場。
Morris + Company為阿根廷的預製房屋公司Phäbb創建了模塊化系統，這是最初針對南美市場的一系列設計之一。
建築工作室設計了一系列靈活的模塊化元素，這些元素可以組合起來創建單個房屋或整個公寓樓。
“Due to its design and flexibility, Phäbb MODU allows a wide range of purchasers to combine modules in order to create a diverse range of buildings and typologies ranging from simple shelters to complex configurations of homes anywhere from 25-metres-square and above,” explained Morris + Company founder Joe Morris.
“The blending of varying modular volumes provides abundant opportunity to create unique spaces and their layout establishes an interconnecting interior/exterior dialogue, drawing in natural light to the core of the design, ensuring that the house provides flexibility of use all through the day, the week or the seasons,” he told Dezeen.
“由於其設計和靈活性，PhäbbMODU允許廣泛的購買者組合模塊，以創建從簡單的庇護所到復雜的房屋構造（從25平方米及以上的房屋到任何地方）的各種建築物和類型，” 莫里斯+公司創始人喬·莫里斯解釋說。
“各種模塊化體積的融合為創造獨特的空間提供了充足的機會，其佈局建立了內部/外部的相互聯繫，將自然光吸收到設計的核心，確保房屋全天候提供使用靈活性。 一周或幾個季節。”他告訴Dezeen。
The MODU system contains 15 modules that can be assembled and rearranged to create a broad range of housing types that are each distinct from each other but share a common identity.
“At the core of this project is the desire to create a modular concept which is ‘adaptable’ and ‘flexible’ to the needs of a potential homeowner,” said Morris.
“Rather than ‘imposing’ a rule and order over the purchasing public, we are ‘liberating’ opportunity. In this way, we can drive efficiencies, reduce costs, improve quality, eliminate waste, and massively increase buyer power and choice.”
MODU系統包含15個模塊，這些模塊可以組裝和重新排列，以創建範圍廣泛的外殼類型，每種外殼類型互不相同，但具有相同的標識。
莫里斯說：“該項目的核心是創建一個模塊化的概念，以適應和適應潛在房主的需求。”
“我們不是在向公眾“強加”規則和命令，而是在“解放”機會。通過這種方式，我們可以提高效率，降低成本，提高質量，消除浪費，並大大增加購買者的權力和選擇。”
To demonstrate the potential configurations of the MODU system Morris + Company designed four house types using the modular elements.
The first, named DADU House, is envisioned as being appropriate for small sites and for buyers with a tight budget. Each house would have a distinct shape with a steeply pitched roof and glazed lantern roof and configurations would range from 18.6 square metres to 86 square metres.
為了演示MODU系統的潛在配置，Morris + Company使用模塊化元素設計了四種房屋類型。
第一家名為DADU House，被認為適合小型場所和預算緊張的買家。 每棟房屋的形狀各異，有一個陡峭的屋頂和玻璃燈籠屋頂，配置範圍從18.6平方米到86平方米。
Suburban House and Beach House both combine more modules to create larger homes. Each has three volumes, with Beach House arranged around a central courtyard that could contain a pool and Suburban House’s staggered volumes creating an external courtyard and parking space.
In contrast to the other three iterative designs, Stack House is a multistorey apartment block.
郊區房屋和海濱房屋都結合了更多的模塊來創建更大的房屋。 每個都有三冊，其中海濱別墅圍繞中央庭院佈置，其中可能包含一個游泳池，而郊區別墅的交錯冊構成了一個外部庭院和停車位。
與其他三個迭代設計相反，Stack House是多層公寓樓。
Morris hopes that the designs will demonstrate that varied, well-designed homes can be created using modular designs and prefabrication techniques, which can be more efficient and sustainable than traditional techniques.
“We are all aware of the crises facing humanity – the need for access to high quality and durable housing for sustainable communities – and the planet – species extinction and global climatic collapse – and how our industries such as construction and engineering are both source of many of the problems and indeed the route for innovative solutions,” he explained.
“As a consequence, and whilst not singularly the solution to these vastly complex issues, Phäbb MODU provides some insight and guidance on what is possible to break the sterility of the current housing systems available, whilst in turn doing so in a manner which reduces or removes wasteful, unnecessary and harmful construction practices.”
Phäbb is currently developing the MODU range for the housing market in South America but is also investigating how the designs can be adapted for use in North America.
“Another challenge is to make transferable the fabrication and manufacture of the system in one zone, compliant in another zone,” said Morris.
莫里斯（Morris）希望這些設計能夠證明使用模塊化設計和預製技術可以創建出各種精心設計的房屋，與傳統技術相比，這些技術可以更高效，更可持續。
“我們都知道人類面臨的危機–可持續社區需要高質量和耐用住房的需求–以及地球–物種滅絕和全球氣候崩潰–以及我們的建築和工程等行業如何成為許多行業的根源問題，甚至是創新解決方案的途徑。”他解釋說。
“因此，雖然不是唯一解決這些極為複雜的問題的解決方案，但PhäbbMODU可以提供一些見識和指導，以解決可能破壞現有住房系統的無菌性的問題，同時以減少或減少此類問題的方式這樣做。消除浪費，不必要和有害的建築慣例。”
Phäbb目前正在為南美的住房市場開發MODU系列產品，但同時也正在研究如何將設計應用於北美。
莫里斯說：“另一個挑戰是使系統的製造和製造可轉移到一個區域，而在另一個區域則是順從的。”
“Phäbb is presently focusing on solutions for the South American housing market, but simultaneously working on adaptive technologies such that similar solutions can be transformed to North American contexts,” he continued.
“Longer-term, there is a prospect for the system, in an evolved format, to work within a European context. Thus there are significant challenges which can be met by innovation and adaptation.”
In North America, meanwhile, architecture studio Generate and developer Placetailor have unveiled plans to build an apartment block in Boston using a modular prefabrication system that would allow for disassembly and reuse.
Built using a cross-laminated timber “kit of parts”, the team said it will be carbon neutral.
他繼續說：“Phäbb目前專注於為南美住房市場提供解決方案，但同時致力於自適應技術的開發，以使類似的解決方案可以轉化為北美市場。”
“從長遠來看，該系統有發展的形式，有望在歐洲範圍內運行。因此，創新和適應可以解決許多重大挑戰。”
與此同時，在北美，建築工作室Generate和開發商Placetailor宣布了計劃使用模塊化預製系統在波士頓建造公寓樓，該系統可以拆卸和再利用。
該團隊表示，它將使用交叉層壓的木材“零件套件”建造，將實現碳中和。
