Flexible Retreat , Bangladesch

 

ArchTwist

 

The competition aims to re-invent Modular Design in the context of Bangladesh and explore its opportunities in the tourism Sector. The design should culminate in a people centric approach and evolves through an iterative process.

 

It has been calculated that up to 40% of all newly delivered items are lost during on site building construction. The foundation of off-site fabrication and manufacture is an integrated system, which streamlines the product supply chain, aids architects and builders in managing the quantity of materials required, and enables efficient reuse of any excess resources. Off-site assembly also holds out the possibility of reuse and disassembly. A greener end product is produced by integrating sustainable resources holistically.

 

The competition also aims to add socio-economic aspects into the existing body of knowledge in the context of a developing country like Bangladesh. The design approach is to not think of it just as a building but as a system. The participants are asked to develop an innovative system of modular construction bearing in mind the cost effectiveness and circularity of the whole system.
