摘　　要：The Castle,a long-term collaboration between the School of Architecture&Design and local youth-service organizations,intends to assist youth at risk of homelessness by deploying micro-dwellings to households experiencing spatial and emotional distress.Responding to a demonstrated gap in the housing market,the brief for The Castle demands a dwelling that is small,mobile,autonomous and spatially clever.Aside from important social and pedagogical agendas The Castle explores‘leanness’in timber construction.Three prototypes have resulted in‘panitecture,’a highly adaptive construction system composed of CNC-router cut folded plate plywood wall panels integrated with built-in furniture.Panitecture results in an overall reduction in material waste,direct applicability to a low-skilled workforce and opportunities for mass-customisation,accommodating infi nite design confi gurations to be processed without the need for continual redesign.Options are also available for deployment onto site—as a digital fi le,as individual components,assembled panels,an assembled carcass or as a completed dwelling.
