modulararchitecture
Modular architecture is an approach to building design and construction in which a project is decomposed into standardized, self-contained modules that are manufactured off-site and later transported and assembled on site. Modules may include structural shells, rooms, or functional systems, and are designed to be combined in various configurations to create a wide range of building types. The approach supports both new construction and retrofit projects and often emphasizes speed, quality control, and reduced on-site disruption.
Historically, modular construction has roots in early factory-built housing and industrialization of construction. In recent decades,
Key principles include standardization of module sizes and interfaces, interoperability of structural and MEP systems, repeatability
Advantages include faster construction schedules, improved quality control, reduced site waste, and potential for reuse or
Applications span residential towers and housing, hotels, offices, healthcare facilities, and emergency or temporary shelters. The
