For a number of years, modular construction - the use of
prefabricated elements in architecture - has once again become a
subject of lively discussion and debate. Long written off as
monotonous, today's building components are actually highly
differentiated and capable of supporting and enhancing the
architect's creativity. Numerous structures work with prefabricated
components; for single-family homes the figure is ninety-eight
percent, and modular systems are available that meet high aesthetic
standards. This book provides an overview of the various different
systems and their possible uses, particularly in the areas of
housing, office, and industrial buildings. It explains the
processes and components of modular construction and the behavior
of the various materials when this construction approach is used.
The authors offer strategies for planning and designing with
prefabricated systems so that the architect can use them
productively. Numerous drawings explain the principles of modular
construction, while built examples forge a link between those
principles and the practical activity of building.
