Metalevel building blocks for modular systems

ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems, 1994
The formal definition of any namespace device found in a programming language can be given in terms of transformations on a semantic environment. It is worthwhile, therefore, to consider the implications of incorporating environments as bona fide data objects in a programming system. In this article, we propose a treatment of environments and

BIM in Prefabrication and Modular Building

2018
“Prefabrication and Modular Building” and “BIM” were two major buzzwords in the industry of construction in 2017. If the Prefabrication and Modular Building refers to a revolution in building production, BIM (Building Information Modeling) [2] application will act as an important technical means to promote the revolution.

Building a more Modular Future

2020
The completed projects are proving the sector can deliver demonstrably higher quality, with reduced defects and improved building performance, and with greater choice of layout and specification offered to customers. The engagement from government and signs of changing attitudes to innovation from some of the larger housebuilders could be an early ...

Modular Construction in Buildings

This Chapter reviews the history, applications and different forms of modular construction that may be used in buildings and presents general guidance on their structural design, including stability and robustness. Test information is presented on the load resistance of cold formed steel C sections with boards of various types on one or both sides. The

Modular systematics for the industrialized building

1995
Industrialized building technology involves the use of advanced control systems as well as mechanized and automated building and manufacturing methods. Expressive architecture and the realization of flexible technical systems and spaces which serve variable usage are the main aims of the design and technical systems.
