The famous Mexican architect Miguel Ángel Aragonés presented the results of his 10 years of research with a project called Casa PI – a smart prefabricated house project. Patented in Switzerland, the system seeks to disrupt the traditional model of built-in housing.

The origin of this innovation lies in the idea of creating a durable, high-quality modular system that accelerates building assembly time, improves thermal and acoustical efficiency, and reduces construction costs. construction, waste and use as little energy as possible.

The origin of the work comes from the idea of creating a sustainable modular system

This modular system optimizes resources and reduces waste. With easily adjustable movable joints, the walls consist of layers of covering, layers of insulation and soundproofing. The electrical and water connection system is designed right in the process of wall paneling. It ensures the highest build quality in record time, providing many direct benefits: no need for paint, waterproofing or anti-corrosion coating. It allows the sound and heat insulation systems to be adjusted to achieve optimal comfort levels, which reduces the service life of the central air conditioning system.

In terms of installation, the architect chose aluminum as the main material, due to its flexibility, lightness, durability and recyclability without sacrificing aesthetics. As a result, one can install a module with an area of 180m2 in just 50 days with 8 people without the need for heavy machinery. The design team emphasizes the possibility that the project can be turned into a home for many different audiences, from low-income to high-income people, due to being able to personalize:

“Strong, lightweight, durable, corrosion resistant, recyclable, and with the ability to create almost any shape, aluminum can do what other building materials, such as brick and wood, can do. , it is impossible to do. Since its widespread emergence in the early 20th century, it has been the engine for modern architecture. The house, the origin of the city and the culture, requires a transformation, they are easier to implement, the service is higher, the quality is higher at a lower price. PI supports large glass doors, maximizing energy efficiency and allowing optimal construction of prefabricated houses.”
