Distributd Design Vol.2 - Responsive Open Source Modular Housing Prototype | #ROSHOP
ROSHOP [QR code 1] is a Responsive Open Source Modular Housing Prototype—a collaborative, media-inspired modular house designed specifically for complex post-conflict and politically unstable environments. It provides evidence of resourcefulness within refugee communities, utilising local materials and open-source media tools for learning and documentation. It is a fusion between architecture and media. #ROSHOP was selected for participation at the
International Media Architecture Biennale 2021. What makes #ROSHOP unique is that: a) #ROSHOP is a sustainable and culturally relevant building made using a vernacular architecture that involves local materials and indigenous techniques, and b) the building process involves a collaborative approach and knowledge sharing using open source digital technologies such as Github. It can be planned and coordinated 100% online by teams in multiple locations globally. The first iteration of #ROSHOP is at the Pagirinya Refugee Settlement, called the Pagirinya Satellite House.
