Modular Housing: Future Of Shelter With Unlimited Possibilities

Italian designer Gabriel Aramu has presented a concept of modular house - that takes about 64 forms! You no longer have to make & break walls to make your home '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vastu_Shastra" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Vastu Shastra</a>' compliant. Aramu calls his creation a 'Sliding Hub'. The biggest use of modular houses could be during the emergency situations (earthquakes) as the design can be assembled and dissembled within a short time.

    The concept is particularly interesting because modular housing is not only about moving walls or changing layouts; the real value is the ability to respond quickly to changing space requirements. That becomes even more relevant in emergency accommodation, temporary healthcare facilities, classrooms, and community spaces where speed and adaptability matter. In Ireland, Asset Accommodation(21C) is a good example of how modular buildings are being used for both temporary and longer-term applications, with customisable units supplied across different sectors.

    The biggest challenge will probably be making these systems practical beyond the initial design concept. Transport, foundations, insulation, utilities, planning requirements and long-term durability all need to work together. If those issues can be addressed while retaining the flexibility described here, modular housing could have a much broader role in future shelter and rapid-response construction.
