Community dynamics shift when individuals must actively negotiate the terms of their participation. Voluntary assembly, as opposed to gathering out of convenience, imbues the act with significance. This process creates a provisional commons defined by collective awareness rather than passive habit. The concept of modularity introduces a corresponding ethical framework. It conceptualizes architecture as a visitor, not a permanent settler, enabling engagement with a site without permanent attachment. In this context, impermanence is interpreted as a form of intelligence rather than a deficiency. If community is understood as a temporal event and dwelling as a negotiated agreement, the question arises: what constitutes the authentic measure of belonging?
