Modular [Place] Making Part 1 Project 2024 Jared Brandy University of Plymouth | UK Vacant brownfield land is an issue plaguing the country and particularly the Coxside area of Plymouth, paired with the current housing crisis we are presented with a series of circumstances that stunt the opportunity for home ownership and challenge young individuals’ ability to rent. This project looks to tackle these issues with the production of a modular housing system designed off the basis of Mollie Claypool’s AUAR system. Adapting the Block Type A, and pairing it with a specifically designed roof structure, the project’s pair of warehouse factories respectively manufacture, assemble, and eventually accommodate discrete, modular structures.This system aims to employ a Lego brick-like assembly logic that the layperson can simply understand and learn about. The factory adjacent spaces contain tutorial spaces for workshops and teaching sessions for the system’s users as well as areas to observe the production. Modular workshops employing the same system populate the warehouses’ street-side, front facing bays becoming points for modification of the set components but also of public interaction. The project aims to make new-build housing accessible and give the inhabitant the power to assemble it themselves. A new hub for industrial activity and social integration begins to emerge through the project. Tutor(s) Ricky Burke
