Abstract Details

2016, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
The world around us is changing. Cars are running on every street, cellphones signals are sending back and forth to satellites every second, medicine is saving people from death on every part of the world. The way we are working, moving, talking is changed. As human beings, it is our nature to change the world, to discover new life. From the first industrialization, we have been through a second industrialization, standardization, mechanization, mass production, and automation. Now, we are stepping into mass customization. Compared to cellphones, vehicles, and visualization, architecture is behind the times. The industrialization 5.0 allows customer customization in every production but why can architecture not do the same? Among material, space, and circulation, we as architects are driving everything through our awareness of the world. We say “cozy homes” but it is only our believing. Do users really like it? How can we allow users to change and modify their home? Old construction progress wastes tons of materials, and the construct stage is being designed roughly, which is abusing time and man power. To determine a solution to combat these problems, I want to design an easily-assembled, moveable pre-fabricated, customized Unit-House. In term to finish the design, I need consider three major parts. 1) How to allow customers to design their space. 2) How to move the pre-fab house. 3) How to arrange public spaces in complex arrangements. I hope this project can become a prototype, which has a major influence on people’s lives.
