I believe the way we design and make buildings is transiting through a major point in history where the flow of ideas through to workmanship is being restructured. As the format changes, opportunities are emerging to provoke a new wave of design innovation. Through a full scale housing experiment, taking shape as a design-build research tiny house, I explore a prototypical alternative housing project aimed at exploring the capability of building production utilizing a complete digital workflow, what it takes to build an affordable sustainable home, and how spatial organization can pull everything together. This full scale experiment serves to help advance how we think about building housing in the 21st century.
