TECHNICAL ASPECTS

The concept of the connective cube is derived from interlocking one single component constructed from plywood to create the form of the cell, resulting in the final design of the building. Although this specific method was not used to construct the cells at this stage, the idea of single components connecting together remains the same. The walls and roof are composed of a timber platform frame construction. Natural light enters through a large window, which opens to give the inhabitant control over ventilation. Each piece of the cell would be prefabricated and transported to be constructed on site. The cladding is fixed after to give the building a seamless finish and hide any additional fittings needed to support the cells. Construction is time efficient, allowing for easy expansion of the accommodation block to suit the growth of the student population. The cells can be stacked in multiple directions with connector pieces that would be added to the structure as it continues to grow. They can be placed on any site in any configuration, one universal unit capable of countless possibilities.
