Standardized flexibility - Modular prefabricated concrete-panel housing in Årstafältet 6

Abstract: Concrete panel system is a common way of developing housing. From the beginning of its history, it was a good solution for a pressing need for efficient, affordable, and mass-produced housing to accommodate the growing population and address the shortage of dwellings. However, some of them also faced typical problems of limited flexibility and a lack of architectural diversity and uniqueness within the housing development. Today’s more and more housing projects try to develop a diversified apartment types within, to meet different housing needs allowing for a more inclusive and accessible housing market. My project try to fulfill the need of diversified apartment type on a residential area and based on mature developed concrete panel construction systems that have many advantages, with co-living and private living mode coexisting. In order to make this project more practical, the idea is firstly try to systematically develop different apartments by repetitive units and prefabricated components, using as less as them, then try to applied this to a real site with practical limitations and real needs.
