Chicken Coop Manifesto 2021

As an experimental LAB, we target to find new system of making space which is reversible modular structure in construction system.
Empowering DIY by using pre-cut plywood in space making, we were questioning current wood structures, how we can expand our horizon into reversibility. The coop consists two units which are 5.9 square meters each, connected to each other at different levels. Each units consists shelving structure modules, which are all precut plywood and assembled with screws at the project site by participants. Each modules connected with metal bullions, which make the structure `reversible`. Than we arrived, can we say structural modules treated as furniture?
At the same time we were considering Nature shouldn't be harmed by foundation such such as using concrete for the foundation. That's why we introduced MegaAnchor (origin Italy) to use first time in Japan. Metal pipes gently drilled into the land and connected with metal joints to the upper structure. We intentionally tried two different levels for two units for challenging construction technics such as connections between each other.

Plug-in architects invented shelving structure module system through this workshop.
We all learn that value of modularity and reversibility in construction technics of wood structure.
