sLender facade: mass-customized volumetric envelope system

EKA PAKK is developing a construction system for mass customized and prefabricated buildings. The set of problems associated with mass-built prefab houses is familiar to us from Soviet-era prefabricated houses. There is a danger of homogenization, functional and social segregation of urban space. In terms of urban space, the issue lay in the perimeter, accessibility and functionality of the buildings. Therefore, as a separate research project – the sLender facade, as a mass-customizable, multifunctional, volumetric boundary structure that could be adapted to both new buildings and the reconstruction of existing ones – has been initiated.
