Description

Explore the evolution of modular construction with this comprehensive guide from Birkhauser. This manual examines construction systems built from a minimal number of identical elements, designed for quick, efficient, and economic assembly and disassembly. From the nomadic architecture of the past to the historic Crystal Palace of 1851, the text traces the development of these systems through steel, concrete, and wood. By connecting historical precedents with modern digital planning and production methods, the book addresses how modular precast construction systems can be adapted for diverse uses. It provides a deep look into the structural and technological shifts that allow for flexible, adaptable building methods in contemporary architecture.

Key Features

This Birkhauser manual covers the design, structure, and new technologies of modular construction systems.

The text examines historical examples of efficient building, including the 1851 Crystal Palace and nomadic architecture.

Learn how modern digital planning and production methods enhance modular precast construction systems.

The book analyzes the use of steel, concrete, and wood in nineteenth and twentieth century construction systems.

Study how identical elements allow architects to build, dismantle, and change structures economically.
