Project FROG
Came across an interesting article about a pre-fab system for modular school buildings. A San Francisco based company has developed an interesting modular system featuring high-performance envelopes, natural daylighting, and mechanical systems. These systems utilize sustainable materials and components that can be strategically designed for future phases. Angled wall modules allow for a faceted system to possibly deal with certain existing site conditions. Could be a great idea for a charter-based school, a learning center, library, or even a cool commercial space. The educational-based could likely be assited with available grants. Its a great concept with a beautiful modern design. It boasts 50-75% energy reduction, 50-70% reduction in operational costs, and 25-40% reduced construction costs. Check out the website, especially the movie section which shows a unit being built in 7 days. Pretty impressive.
