WikiHouse build

Formerly Construction Scotland Innovation Centre, BE-ST is the launchpad to a zero carbon built environment.

Built Environment - Smarter Transformation

Join the WikiHouse team and learn how to build zero-carbon homes.

WikiHouse is a modular building system that makes it easy to design, manufacture and assemble high-performance homes and small buildings. 

The system is open source, so it is not tied to just one company. It is being used and supported by a growing network of designers, engineers and manufacturers. WikiHouses can be digitally manufactured in local micro-factories and rapidly assembled by small teams, without the need for traditional construction skills.

This session will be led by the WikiHouse team. We’ll start with the essentials when designing with WikiHouse and demonstrate how to access the free digital block library. We will then physically build and insulate WikiHouse blocks that will be assembled into a structure by the end of the day.

You’ll also get a first opportunity to test the new WikiHouse configurator, an online tool that enables anyone to rapidly design and customise buildings for on-demand manufacturing. It automates the complexity of knowledge needed to design good places to live, giving the user control over the impacts of engineering, cost, energy performance, and embodied carbon.

No construction skills are needed to join the session. Please wear sturdy shoes if taking part in assembling blocks, other PPE will be provided.
