Micro Housing  2019 Architecture Competition We invite you to rethink and re-imagine the idea of urban dwellings and come up with inventive solutions to the persistent issues of space crunch and growing population in our cities. Since the beginning of time, a HOME has continued to be an entity that is intimate to all living beings on the planet. Apart from being a physical shelter for humans and their daily lives, a home forms a distinct, intimate connection with its users. Today, across the globe, we are experiencing a rise in densely populated urban areas, along with a lack of land resources to provide sufficient housing for the masses. This phenomenon has given rise to a new movement of Micro-Housing; one that commands the idea of simple but inventive living in today’s urban areas. The concept of these revolutionary homes focusses primarily on the innovation of maximum functional area in a minimum footprint, thus redefining the perception of sustainability in urba...

SEArch+ and Apis Cor have won first place in the Virtual Construction level of NASA’s 3D-Printed Habitat Centennial Challenge, seeking to create sustainable shelters suitable for the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Using resources available on-site in these locations, the female-led, New York-based space research and design practice proposed the MARS X HOUSE, offering a robust, durable 3D-printed habitat using autonomous robotics. Led by SEArch+ co-founder Melodie Yashar, the scheme employs evidence-based design for the form and constructability of the future habitat, intended for a crew of four to live and work on Mars for one Earth year. The habitat is designed to exceed radiation standards in order to ensure human health while connecting the crew with natural light and views of the Martian landscape. Winning this latest phase of NASA ’s Habitat Challenge is an incredible honor for all of us at SEArch+. We’re thrilled and humbled by the support from NASA and congratulate the ...

The aim of the proposal was to contribute to the development of Budapest by reinterpreting the defining characteristics of the city. First, the team created links between downtown and uptown Budapest in hopes of creating future urban developments along the Danube river. As the team states, "following the execution of the plan, citizens of Budapest will be more connected to this new area of the city. A circular square seems familiar to us because of Kodály Circus, and an octagonal square feels like home to the citizens of Budapest because it resembles the Oktogon Square. Streets that are strictly perpendicular to the Danube are also very familiar to anyone who has ever sailed on the Danube through Budapest." The development process was split into three parts in order to define different quarters inside the masterplan. Most of the dormitory buildings were placed on the southern part of the plan and future business developmental efforts to the northern part. Between the...
