The ambition for the Monad project was to create a generative urban model and qualitative
paradigm shift for dense urban living and urban infill development. The project is positioned through design innovation with regards to livability, flexibility, choice, sustainability, compactness, affordability, prefabrication, social connection and strategic spatial qualities.
The projects presents a built prototype and with significant innovation for the following issues:
* It is not a one-off building response, but a generative, deployable and adaptable model for urban
densification in a range of urban situation, design tested, prototyped and optimized to work on a broad range of urban infill sites;
* It serves as a catalyst for urban sustainability in rethinking typologies for unused potential sites along urban arteries and to create a more socially responsive typology;
* It creates a highly flexible platform design that allows for choice and tenant individualization;
* It offers hybrid sky-houses that are an affordable alternative to both unaffordable single family homes or limiting normative condominiums;
* It uses porosity in a strategic and qualitative way to facilitate a high degree of livability and social interaction;
* The integrated design allows to translate ambitious sustainability or Vancouver's Greenest City goals into viable realties;
* It uses renewable materials and renewable energy;
* As a built prototype to drive needed innovation forward in a risk averse industry;
* In its rigorous, yet liberating way to deploy multi-story prefabrication up to 12 stories, and do so by liberating urban living beyond the constraints of the box.
