Description:

Not yet structurally checked or tested, however this version represents the most 'sophisticated' resolution based on what we (London team) have learned so far. 900mm-300mm alternating gauge system allows for fewer mistakes, faster build and wide doorway sized openings in walls, with better overall efficiency on sheet layouts . Greater use of 'knot' connections (the cross-shapes visible on the outside) makes more use of the panels as structural components than previous versions, but it is important to use an adequate number of screws to fix the panels on. This system is also developed to allow end walls. nb. Cutting files attached for the end section only.

Description:

Full zero-bolts module, rationalised, with an early attempt at possible window framing.Cutting files attached (note: files do not yet have offsets, suggested 0.1mm for temperate climates). Although this is the most tested and effective system now, this exact model has not yet been built full scale, but represents the culmination of the knowledge gathered to date (Summer 2012)

Description:

A prototype structure designed and built as a meeting room in an open-plan office in West London. Uses v2.0 (zero-bolts) structural system. The first prototype with a gable / party wall at the end, which explains the solution for lateral walls.

casa

Description:

An exploration of the no-bolts WikiHouse system, which offers much greater efficiency. This model also shows a new internal and external panel mounting system designed by Lynton Pepper to allow more insulation and installation of a breather membrane. External jacket / tent is primarily for illustration and outline window designs are also included. All of these require further design and prototyping.

Description:

Prototype at Hub Westminster London as a meeting room.

Description:

Built at the Gwangju Design Biennale. Interesting to note that because of the humidity of the air in Korea, the the plywood (in this case Douglas fir) tended to expand over time, making it harder to assemble, thus larger tolerances would be recommended in future. It was suggested that perhaps there is some potential for offsets to become a parameter variable with climate.

Description:

Simple C-series section, with an asymmetrical pitched roof.

Description:

Gable end section for a C-series studio.

Description:

Basic C-series section with a 'studio' profile (full height apex-height opening along one side).
