THE concept “kuwadrado” encapsulates an interplay between its own meaning as a four-squared corner and the word “kwadro” which means a blank painting canvas. As an architectural design, it transforms the traditional static low-cost architecture into a dynamic structure that will evolve alongside the needs of its inhabitants. It allows the home to be built in stages, significantly reducing its initial cost.
Thus, families start living with a basic core unit that provides basic necessities along with horizontal and vertical expansion. The durability and adaptability of steel framing facilitate this expansion, permitting users to add to their homes without risking the existing foundation’s structural integrity. The concept enhances the building form while retaining the users’ character, like a canvas waiting to be painted by its owner.
