The Favela Construction Set is a deliberately tongue-in-cheek name used within Open Source Ecology to describe a serious, modular construction system designed for rapid village-scale deployment and extreme affordability. It consists of standardized 10×12-foot cabin modules engineered to be stackable up to four stories using a telehandler, enabling fast vertical and horizontal growth without specialized cranes. The system includes a library of interoperable modules—stairs, canopies, kitchens, bathrooms, roofs, decks, and circulation elements—that snap together into coherent settlements rather than isolated structures. By treating housing as a kit of parts rather than a one-off building, the Favela Construction Set enables incremental development, mixed-use layouts, and dense yet human-scale villages that can be built, modified, and repaired using local labor, common materials, and open designs. The framing emphasizes adaptability, speed, and extreme cost reduction, intentionally reclaiming the ingenuity of informal settlements and translating it into an explicit, open-source construction grammar suitable for education, disaster response, and civilization-scale bootstrapping. | |||
