THE HOUSE ON THE BACK by Tomas Eduardo Echeverri Montoya, Ange Tatiana Usme Donado (Colombia)

The project rises first and foremost as a single module that is capable of sustaining the necessities of the human habitat, giving the man its righteous place as an individual that is able to change, a man that belongs to nowhere and everywhere in this globalized society, thus giving him the opportunity to mutate and adapt his space as well as himself, therefore carrying it on his back.

Walls, slab, roof, all of them can be (and must be) shifted, removed and repurposed regarding the user, the only thing that remains is the BCORE structure that contains and supports the human space.

The basic module is designed to be easily and quickly constructed, the basic unit is suited to situations of emergency as a refuge, but when it’s connected to more modules and adjusted to the current environment and habitants, works perfectly as a family housing project.

The urban environment is the perfect fit for this project as well, proposing a system that allows to be built gradually, floor by floor, as the modules are sold and allowing for change and inner growth, ideal for apartments, offices and hybrid buildings.

Honorable Mention: TETRIS CITY by Hung Nguyen, Uyen Nguyen (Vietnam)

Using almost 100% BCORE prefab elements as structure and AI aided design scheme, Tetris City embarks a concept of reprogrammable architecture and flexible living space following inhabitants’ preferences and demand.

From the basic unit module, we can produce 5 types in various dimensions. The combination of module types facilitates structure to be diverse in forms and expand horizontally or vertically according to users’ demand. Stairs will be inserted inside or outside the structure.s simple connection makes it easy for disassemble and reassemble at any time, like the scheme plug-and-play in Tetris and LEGO.

Honorable Mention: BLOCKOUT by Starostina Anastasiia, Iafziov Emil, Liliia Iaryeva (Russia)

We present a new form of housing - “Blockout”, which challenges the usual way of life. Living in these structures is like an exciting adventure, like a game. Various social ties are created here. Homes are mobile and affordable for everyone. And the units themselves, like plants, are able to grow, regenerate, purify and fill the air with oxygen. Our residential unit is fully adapted for transportation and can be assembled in any corner of our vast planet. In addition to BCORE Slabs, windows, doors, insulation, plumbing, all furniture, and air filters fit in one container for transportation. The whole house, as a result, occupies approximately 65% of the space of the shipping container. Thus, our residential unit turned out to be very compact and its future owner will not encounter any problems loading the house and personal items in a container.
