The Affordable modular collective housing explores the promotion of human social relationships and how to improve the state of the human mental health. Housing affects people’s living conditions and social relations, and also people’s lifestyle depending on architecture. This housing then shapes the social behavior of the person and makes changes in the person’s life. Housing has a great impact on people’s psychology. People can feel comfortable and enjoyable by living in a house with existing interests in behavior and humanistic care for elder people and ADA.
