The 1st University Student Modular Architecture Design Studio Competition

□ Purpose of promotion
Off-Site Construction (OSC) and modular construction methods are solutions for addressing current issues in the construction industry, such as labor shortages, safety accidents, and carbon emissions; they represent not merely a change in construction techniques but an area capable of expanding the very approach to architectural design.
This competition aims to foster an ecosystem for cultivating practical talent who will lead the future construction industry by linking with regular coursework to enhance understanding of OSC and modular construction and improve design capabilities, and to discover innovative ideas from aspiring architects that will unlock the diverse forms and possibilities of modular construction.
