Concept: The wall system could quickly transform empty commercial buildings into temporary and practical living solutions due to COVID. In this project, we experiment with how a lightweight and portable wall system is designed to fit into elevators for easy transportation to each floor. All construction is done from the inside out, avoiding the need for cranes.
Fibre composite studies
Fibre composite technologies combine fabrics woven from carbon, basalt, flax or hemp with resins to create lightweight, sustainable and versatile materials. These materials have been used in other industries and can be introduced to the construction industry to bring innovation and create new possibilities.
