My top 5 Modulo projects
by Mirco Pegoraro, 11 January 2019
Modulo is the first product I designed in 1997. I wanted to apply ancient Roman designs to modern problems. It is made of recycled plastics and improves the construction process, building quality, and the well-being of residents. Its biggest advantages are the prevention of vapor and radon intrusion, concrete and building material reduction, and seismic resilience. For more than two decades, it has been used in thousands of projects. Here is a list of my top 5 favorite projects:
