Prefabricated Solutions for Housing: Modular Architecture and Flexible Living Spaces
This research explores the development of a modular prefabricated concrete housing prototype, focusing on sustainability and flexibility. Supported by industry collaboration, it examines three key hypotheses: (1) a rigid geometric modular layout optimizing standardized panels while allowing spatial customization and adaptability, (2) a mixed construction system combining panels with pillars and beams for greater design flexibility, and (3) prefabricated concrete panels with integrated thermal insulation to enhance comfort. An analytical framework was developed based on modularity, flexibility, and sustainability, informed by an extensive literature review and applied to contemporary collective housing case studies. Insights from this analysis guided the development of a housing prototype that integrates modularity, adaptable construction, and sustainable principles. The proposed design follows the principles of design for assembly and disassembly (DFA/DFD), increasingly relevant in modern construction. The findings suggest that combining concrete solutions with thermal insulation, structured around a regular geometric grid, enables diverse housing typologies while ensuring cost efficiency through prefabrication. This approach challenges the monotony of conventional housing, offering visually engaging and functionally adaptable alternatives. It promotes architecture that balances efficiency, sustainability, and aesthetic value while addressing modern housing needs.
