Abstract

This research on experimental housing design has been supported by the Ministry of Education, Spain, and carried out mainly at Chalmers University. It has recently been registered as patent design in PRV - the Swedish Patent and Registration Office. It constitutes a continuation of teaching experiences and previous studies on potential wooden architecture since 2001, by using disused or recycled pallet boards as wood-frame systems both in dwelling framing and mobile furniture. PHS© shows new possibilities for flexible housing systems easy to transport and assemble.
