The studio explored the question of modularity in architecture. Modularity today, is understood today only through the lens of an industrially manufactured assembly system, where every component is expected to fit together with a highest degree of precision only. Instead, this technology module wants to explore a more communitarian, artisanal, exploratory, temporal and at times playful dimension of the idea of modularity.

 

Predominantly in the history of Asian architecture, one can find modularity and temporality as central to almost all forms and scales of architecture. In the space of social events, modular and temporal aspects of the built-form are central and operative from calamities and disasters to festivals. Even though modularity was the technical focus of the studio the objective of the studio was to think about the possible emergence of architectural forms that are more than the sum of all parts.
