reACT: Resilient Adaptive Climate Transformation
University of Maryland’s nationaly winning submission to the 2017 Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon focused on creating a transformative architecture typology that could easily adapt to different environments and emerging technologies.
Through the implementation of modular construction and design of concentrated, accessible utilities, the reACT house provides a sustainable architecture that develops alongside an ever-chaning modern family.
An independent study I put together showcasing how the house could be constructed with novel Earthen SIPS (Structurally Insulated Panels) and breathable Earthen Bricks.
The goal was to create a local, universal, sustainably sourced material system that could be modularly constructed en masse.
