Modularity

Modularity Definition

Modularity in buildings refers to a design and construction approach where a structure is composed of modules and/or elements that are often standardised and prefabricated. These modules and/or elements can be built off site in a controlled environment, and are then transported to the building site, where they are assembled to form the complete structure. The key idea is that these modules and elements can be combined in various configurations to create flexible and adaptable spaces.

Additionally, there are 2D modules and 3D modules:

2D Modules Definition

2D modules refer to flat, prefabricated panels that serve as key structural or non structural elements, such as floors, walls, and roofs. These modules are produced in controlled factory environments and then transported to the construction site, where they are assembled into the final structure.

3D Modules Definition

3D modules, also known as volumetric units, are pre assembled, box like structures that often represent complete rooms, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or even entire apartment units. These modules are constructed in controlled factory environments and then transported to the construction site, where they are assembled into the final structure.
