Components and Systems: Modular Construction Design, Structure, New Technologies Gerald Staib, Andreas Dorrhofer, Markus Rosenthal

This is only feasible with Lighter panels and doors can also be manufactured without compromising their mechanical strength by using new designs that allow a more even and efficient load transfer. As new kinds of open technology become available, there is also an increasing number of online platforms for education and information sharing. Open modular construction systems could greatly speed up the diffusion of low-technologies, such as pedal-powered machines, solar thermal collectors, velomobiles or cargo cycles. The thing that is I predict that in twenty years nearly every house that exists today will be seen as a "tear down" because new construction will be cheap and new home designs will be extraordinary. And while home builders are using modern materials, new design methods, and state-of-the-art technology, the actual building of the house has not changed much over 100 years ago. Some, such as iFixit and Make, operate along Other platforms such as Open Structures explore the possibility of a modular construction system in which “everyone designs for everyone” on the basis of a shared geometric grid, like a kind of collaborative Meccano. Imagine It's dangerous to bet against technology, but I'm betting against this being only ten years away, or even 25. OS Waterboiling by Jesse Howard. All new buildings blocks that were added in the course of the years are compatible with the existing ones. In this article, we discuss another possibility: the design of modular consumer products, whose parts and components could be re-used for the design of other products. When FLEXLAB is completed late in 2013, researchers in EETD, and its public and private sector research partners, will be able to swap out building components and systems in the modules, and measure, analyze and improve The facility will accelerate the development and deployment of controls and technologies for both retrofit and new construction applications and allow energy use of innovative solutions to be benchmarked against standard building practice. It might be a big money-saver for the town because every proposed building plan that comes through the system will already meet codes. For instance, robot and automation system manufacturers like SAPELEM are incorporating the latest structural bonding technologies so as to both reduce weight and increase stiffness, and therefore enhance equipment accuracy.
