Tackling The Global Housing Crisis: Is The Future Modular?Countries all over the world are facing a housing crisis, with a massive shortage of homes for expanding populations. About 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing and 100 million are homeless, according to United Nations’ statistics.
While traditional construction methods struggle to provide solutions to the global housing crisis, Estonian design and engineering firm Kodasema believes that the answer, in part, could lie in modular homes.
Founded in 2014, the company creates modular living and housing solutions known as KODA houses. Built off-site and transported to the location, they can be set up in a day, and can also be used as cafés, studios, community spaces and business hubs.
Made from sustainable timber, they are energy efficient, while the flexibility of their design allows them to be moved, making them a quick and sustainable solution for emergency accommodation. This form of construction is around 15% to 20% less expensive than traditional methods.
The simple yet effective design of the KODA could help alleviate the pressures of the housing crisis by providing cost-effective options for housing people on waiting lists for affordable accommodation, or temporary rental apartments for students and young professionals.
翻译：应对全球住房危机:未来是模块化的吗?
全世界的国家都面临着住房危机，不断增长的人口导致住房严重短缺。
根据联合国的统计，大约16亿人的住房不符合标准，1亿人无家可归。
虽然传统的建筑方法难以为全球住房危机提供解决方案，但爱沙尼亚设计和工程公司认为，部分答案可能在于模块化住宅。
该公司成立于2014年，创造模块化的生活和住房解决方案，被称为KODA住宅。
它们可以在一天内建立起来，也可以用作cafés、工作室、社区空间和商业中心。
它们由可持续木材制成，具有节能性，同时其设计的灵活性允许它们移动，使它们成为应急住宿的快速和可持续解决方案。
这种建筑形式比传统方法便宜15%到20%。
KODA的简单而有效的设计可以帮助缓解住房危机的压力，为等待住房的人提供经济实惠的住房，或为学生和年轻的专业人士提供临时出租公寓。
