FRAME: modular post disaster school

Year: 2017   |   Location: Adaptable   |   Clinet: Finsa wood  |  Cardiff University Welsh School of Architecture

Design team: Ivan Ignatov, Nadya Angelova, Jacek Baczkowski, Michał Kasperski

International Finsa Award: Honourable Mention

FRAME is a prefabricated timber structure that influences post disaster community

from the very early stage and keeps developing with it.

FRAME is full of educational opportunities; it not only helps to establish learning environment

but is also a learning opportunity on its own.

FRAME is a system that communities are provided with

and then encouraged to inhabit and adapt to their local needs.

The main idea behind our universal FRAME system was to design it in a way that it will be adaptable to various climatic, regional or economical conditions. The adaptable design of the frame enables the community to incorporate their own local materials and various building techniques for the infill. Ensuring that the FRAME is easily repairable promises for the structure to become an integral part of the place where it is assembled and offers the community to claim the ownership of it.
