Dynamic Modularity: A New Approach to Off-site Construction
View/ Open
Abstract
The goal of this thesis project is to examine the several
possible ways that a single-family residence can be built
using various forms of off-site construction in order to
determine which methods are the most suitable. There are
already many methods of off-site construction, most of which
can be classified into a few groups. Those methods include
prefabricated construction, modular construction, as well as
three-dimensional volumetric construction. Today’s
construction-related work force is facing a shortage of
skilled laborers which is in turn, resulting in tighter budgets
and tighter work schedules. The methods explored in this
thesis will aim to resolve these conflicts in an efficient,
cost-effective manner.
