The Segal's Method is a building technique originally conceived for temporary architecture, developed during the Sixties by Walter Segal as a solution for low-cost, self-build houses, in order to contain the cost and time required for their production.

Based on a modular structure scheme and composed by ready-made elements, it allows every average user to easily build a house (up to a maximum of two floors) based on a wide range of specific needs and preferences,  increasing residential accessibility and widely enhancing freedom of choice for individuals to define from the arrangement of interior spaces to the materials used for the building envelope.

 

The specific aims in this proposition were to obtain a tiny house in which: 
_different functions corresponds to different levels and different envelope solutions as well
_the components of the different wall and floor sections are made of sustainable materials (such as cork/wood fiber/reed panels), which allows an elevated breathability and can guarantee high hygrometric qualities to the indoor environment.
