Abstract
Within the imperative surrounding contemporary concepts for
environmental and social sustainability and the affordable housing
crisis, an opportunity exists to explore low-cost, low-skill labour use as
a transferable housing solution to support vulnerable communities. In
this scenario, recognising the intricate nature of the domestic
construction industry is critical: involving the interweaving balance
between material culture, the social networks of construction and the
boundaries between architecture, structure, materials, and building in
a digitally enabled domestic construction industry. Amongst the
challenges this scenario poses is to broaden education modes, using
technological enablement and aligning them to communicate
architectural science in its application to political economy, societal
equity and the environment. This paper explores ways to use a
digitally designed and fabricated unit to embed youth training through
participation in the assembly process and as future training
ambassadors as the project develops. It enquires how digital tools
engender new pathways for collaboration between designers and
makers and incorporate end-users needs, facilitating the permeation
of capacity-building access via a construction material (timber) that
has traditionally circumvented formal-driven social structures.
