| Summary: | The modular approach is widely used in architecture, and simplifying complex structures to enhance flexibility is one of the many reasons for choosing the module as a design tool, particularly in healthcare construction. This article presents an applied research project where modularity is employed in designing Community Houses, i.e. particular local socio-health structures introduced by the Italian National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). Functional schemes, developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals from a Piedmontese Local Health Authority (ASL), ensure different configurations of elementary spatial units. The paper aims to understand, through experimentation, the effectiveness and potential of the modular approach in implementing these new local socio-health services, analysing their background, application, and results.
