"In April 2016, a 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit the town of Muisne, 110 miles
from Quito, Ecuador, and destroyed an estimated 7,000 structures. In the wake
of the devastation, there was a need for easy-to-transport housing that was
also easy to assemble, particularly in rural areas. In response, El Sindicato
Arquitectura started experimenting with prefabricated housing, and they created
a prototype that people could replicate with materials they had nearby.
Since that first foray into prefabrication, the Quito-based practice has
developed a number of like-minded projects, including a tiny home that can be
fixed to the rooftop of apartment buildings, a carpentry workshop the studio
says is rooted in the principles of prefabrication, and, most recently, a
260-square-foot cabin that adds an accommodation to a family’s farm.
Here, the studio shares more about its prefabrication practice—and the
backstories behind some of its most exciting projects thus far."
