Modular Design Series Part 1: Lessons Learned, New Horizons
Focusing on affordable housing, from temporary solutions to permanent housing, all made with modular systems, yet these architectural solutions vary in process, structural approach, complexity, formal expression and urbanistic effect.
Focused on design as a key project driver, the panel and their case studies work to answer a pressing question for 2025 and beyond: Is modular construction a promising way forward for America’s overburdened municipalities and under-resourced housing agencies?
