Transformable Dwellings Correlate to Social Development

Adrian Chen Wah Seow

Description :  This form of sustainable housing uses architecture as a base for flexible transformable living allowing individuals to extend and create more spaces within the structure for more residents. This form of housing uses a modular system of construction thus construction to extend or reduce spaces is really quick. The possible simulation of how spaces are created are individual/couple, family and co-housing orientation.

Reclaim Brixton

Johannah Fening

This project responds through architectural interventions, disrupting and reclaiming gentrified developments in Brixton, reappropriating them for the marginalised Afro-Caribbean community.

Integration of Activities

The project aims to reshape social activities happening into the community by emphasizing formal and informal interaction in public and private spaces. The focus is to highlight the declaration of the working- social life is less and less defined by the imposition of rigid architectural spaces and addresses precisely the breaking of the rigidity of time and space in the workspaces.
