concept

modularGreen is about transforming the urban space (environmentally-friendly way) with help of open-source modules.

why modular?

The creation of the city is a continuous process. Cities are constantly changing, and the changes occur more and more often.  Also, cities differ from one another, but still posses some common qualities. The potential of modular system lies in its flexibility. It has the following characteristics : 

. adaptable to all kinds of spaces

. ‘remixable’ in response to changing needs

. freely, and theoretically infinitely expandable

Aggregation of the modules can create self – supporting structures, that will form an ever-developing network, slowly growing inside the city. Because the modules are open-source, and freely downloadable from this page, those structures can be raised by anyone – with or without respect for regional building laws.   

why green?

The modular structure becomes a place for plants to grow, or an opportunity to install any energy- or water-harvesting devices. The benefits range from improving the visual impact, to simply cutting down one’s electricity bills. We think that green spaces are always good, and there is never enough of them. Using renevable energy resources is usually good too, but still remains distant and expensive for many. The concept within the project is to encourage and aid in making small changes, which then have potential of turning into massive one.
