We examine an industrialised building system prototype proposal by Chilean architecture practice Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen Architects
Ignacio Rojas Hirigoyen Architects has revealed a new industrialised building system prototype – the Chilean architecture studio's proposed solution for the country's increasingly urgent need for housing. 'Towards the end of 2019, we found ourselves with a series of commissions with requirements that as architects and builders we had not had before.
Inspired by modernist architecture and the Bauhaus, led by lessons learned through 20th century pre-fab solutions and contemporary housing needs, the architects crafted a dwelling model that offers a take on building fast and efficiently, while maintaining quality and a design-led approach. Walter Gropius and Konrad Wachsmann's Packaged House and Jean Prouve's 6x6 House were key examples the Chilean practice drew on.
The modular structure comes in ready-made parts that can be swiftly assembled on site, making the most of simple geometries and easy-to-source materials. Timber and steel provide the frame and exterior , with interior surfaces made of laminated wood boards. It can all be built with the help of four operators and a simple crane truck, the architects explain.
'[We want] to provide better conditions for our workforce, the lowest stratum of our society, today largely made up in Chile by immigrants who seek opportunities for themselves and their families in our country.
