Incremental Housing Construction Set
Concept
Source - [1]
The Extreme Affordability Construction Set (EACS) is a modular construction system designed for rapid village-scale deployment and extreme affordability. The system is based on 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. It 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 system 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, translating the Expertise Embedded Design Principle into an explicit, open-source construction grammar suitable for education, disaster response, and civilization-scale bootstrapping.
