Abstract
'My future home' is a community charrette to test
and experience the research & development project Housing+.
Housing+ investigated detailed solutions for affordable housing in modular building technology for the metropolitan area of Perth and other climate zones in WA. The study resulted in the proposal of the H+ modular housing building system which was delivered to the community via a charrette aiming at:
... Co-creating value by engaging the community through participation and the co-design of H+ [modular housing system] housing modules individually and for multiresidential urban living;
... Social interaction;
... Self-determination;
... Networking with the neighbourhood;
... Economic benefits for society, client and users;
... Ecologically conscious action;
... Collaboration with community members;
... Alternative perception of multi-unit housing;
... Engaging the future home owner as an active contributor to 'owning' space within a rational prefab framework that allows flexible interior use;
... Informing about sustainable water use and climate adaptable design considerations;
... Offering a platform for future of housing oriented constructive discussion, learning and gathering;
... Redefine housing for urban living with the community; ... Reexamine and redefine the ways in which dense housing for affordable urban living can be implemented; ... Extracting creativity of the community.
This report contains the approach, design ad result of the interactive demonstration 'My future home' community charrette, held at the B-Shed/Fremantle Ports, with the City of Fremantle, Housing Authority, AUDRC, and further contributions by the Department of Water, the Water Corporation, and Landcorp in 2016.
