The competition - Modular Home Design Challenge (2021)

The Modular Home Design Challenge 2021 is the first in
a series of annual competitions focusing on the concept
of modular architecture. As one of the most versatile
forms of design, modular architecture offers creative,
efficient, and sustainable solutions when designing
homes and living spaces. Operating either as a building
block that is part of an integrated system, or as a
stand-alone entity, modular construction breaks from
traditional built projects and allows novel designs to be
realised.

For this competition, participants are tasked with
designing a modular home that can be constructed in
any form or layout. The modular home can be set in a
location of their choice, either rural, urban, or suburban.
The jury will be looking for design concepts that show a
critical analysis of what a home is and could be in an
increasingly interconnected and technology-driven
world.

This is the first competition in an annual competition
series and is being launched in combination with an
essay competition on the same topic. As winning entries
will be featured in the next edition of ARCHHIVE BOOKS’
‘Modular Architecture’ publication, those designs that
are the most innovative and inspiring will be favoured.
