Skeleton & Tissue : Harbo building system 001

My aim is to create a system of building where the users can tailor their buildings as they wish, based on a catalog of interchangeable prefabricated components.

This model represents a concept of building with two elements. Core and customisable space. The core I have labeled 'skeleton' and the customisable space 'tissue'.
The skeleton supply's vertical human movement, circulation of services and a permanent primary structure. The more temporary, tissue spaces customised by their users
are supported by the skeleton.
The skeleton spaces connect to functions such as kitchens and bathrooms requiring integral service connections. Other interchangeable programs find themselves in the tissue space. Bedrooms, living rooms and even balconies can be added, subtracted and swapped from a catalog of prefabricated components depending on the users desires.
