Transformable Modular Architecture System (TMAS): An Origami-Inspired Kinetic Housing Solution with Automated Flood-Resilient Floating Foundations
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The core concept of the housing unit is inspired by origami geometric folding mechanisms, which allow the extending wings and roof systems to transform flexibly. Thanks to this unique principle, the home can expand its interior space to nearly three times its initial standard container size when deployed. Furthermore, this design approach aims to optimize global multi-modal logistics via standard ISO container dimensions, while providing rapid deployment and automated flood resilience through a PLC-controlled floating foundation for climate change adaptation.
