Digital technologies supporting the mass-customized design and production of buildings will be needed to address these pressing demands. The project will explore the future of integrated live-work hubs by designing a smart factory for manufactured buildings and an associated mixed-use neighborhood developed through the building methods of the factory. It will re-imagine manufacturing processes with modular straw bale panel design to provide sustainable, clean, safe, rapidly deployable production, and using advanced technology.
