This project proposes a modular building system composed of load-bearing plywood blocks with bio-based insulation cores. Each block functions as a structural unit, using a stressed-skin assembly in which the plywood faces carry compressive loads while the internal insulation core stabilizes the section and improves thermal performance. The result is a lightweight, repeatable component that integrates structure and enclosure into a single element.

The system is designed for rapid deployment and circular use. Blocks are dimensioned for efficient manufacturing and palletization, enabling flat-pack transport and easy distribution using standard logistics. On site, they can be assembled into walls without conventional framing, reducing construction time and simplifying labor requirements. Blocks can be disassembled, transported, and reused in the future. By utilizing wood-based materials and carbon-sequestering insulation, the system reduces embodied carbon while storing atmospheric carbon within the building envelope.

The proposal is particularly suited for emergency and transitional housing, where speed, scalability, and resource efficiency are critical. At the same time, the modular logic allows for broader applications in low-rise construction. Unlike conventional emergency shelters, which are often temporary and waste-generating, this approach emphasizes durability, adaptability, and reuse across multiple life cycles.

Rather than treating buildings as static objects, this system frames construction as a flexible, reusable process, one that responds to changing needs while minimizing environmental impact.
