Module B | MODULAR PRFABRICATION DISSECTION

Dissection is the process of separating something into pieces. To further understand the design process and construction method of modular prefabricated in dwellings, a unit from the Re-Home project was dissected. This process is analogous to the dissection of a human body. For instance, one may look at the entire housing project as the body (the building), where each organ (the units) can be further dissected.The Re-Home uses prefabrication and involves two types of units : A and B. Unit type B has 2 sub-types, B1 and B2, allowing for morphological complexities to be expressed architecturally.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND PREFABRICATION

Over the recent years, a construction method that has increasingly gained momentum in the field of architecture is modular prefabrication. Prefabrication and circular economy design principles can be used at every stage of construction, in order to respond to social, economic, and architectural needs. In essence, the integration prefabrication and circular economy design principles in order to fulfill social, economic, and architectural needs. Moreover, the primary benefits evident in combining prefabrication and modular construction encompass a controlled environment, enhanced safety, reduced material waste, and time savings.
