Naturalmodular building techniques has a 4-way focus for new elements that need to be explored in modular building. The first is a modular wall system that can be manufactured in a factory and assembled on site. The second is the exploration of options for reflected light to illuminate the structure throughout the day by bouncing off a surface, passing through a window to be reflected on the dome-like surface of the ceiling. Another is space saving options for bathrooms, staircases and kitchens. Lastly, rethinking roofs to have more options for the placement of solar panels.
