Abstract
As urbanization continues to take over Southeast Asia, a greater proportion of the population will soon live in cities. It is increasingly difficult for buildings to cater to societal demands over extended periods of time. With most of Asia’s cities facing the problem of land scarcity and unaffordable housing, the thesis aims to design a new typology for mass housing for sustainable habitation via customizable, expandable and contractable units from a kit of parts that allow homes to adapt to its occupants with minimal intervention to the building.
