The Bubble Shelter

sketchfab

The project delves into the intersection of digital fabrication and its profound impact on modern human habitats. This inquiry will be put to the test within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, showcasing how digital fabrication and unconventional materials can provide a viable solution for pressing living issues during this challenging time. The project's starting point lies in researching the most prevalent type of residential architecture in the UK - the traditional British terrace house. The ultimate objective is not to dismantle existing structures, but rather to harmoniously coexist with them by incorporating innovative techniques that seamlessly blend old and new elements, thereby creating a novel living system capable of meeting residents' needs while preserving the historical essence of the location.
