About the Event
The disruption created by the global pandemic has forced people to re-evaluate the way they live and the balance between work and home. This re-thinking has led to questions about the suitability and resilience of our houses and how adaptable they are. Page\Park have investigated these issues in their recent Home of 2030 competition entry, which developed a modular housing system enabling a range of housing types, which can change over time, adapting to people's needs. By reducing the need for people to move when their circumstances change and for buildings to be adjusted easily, the carbon footprint of housing reduces, creating more sustainable communities.
