Abstract:
The use of modular construction systems for residential purposes currently represents a very small proportion of all housing construction. The focus of these systems is on niche markets typified as cheap alternatives, homeowner involvement in construction or adaptations to construction constraints (build time availability, site access, etc.). Governments, regulatory bodies and industrial members are progressively moving towards increased environmentally sustainable practice. This progression is evidenced by the development of design and construction rating tools and the introduction of statutes and regulations governing construction and design. This work investigates the improvement of residential construction practice in terms of environmental sustainability outcomes through the use of modular housing systems. Two key aspects of environmental sustainability identified are embodied energy and material waste reduction. A modular system has been investigated because methods and procedures that directly relate to these two areas are well addressed by such systems. In order to validate the potential of modular systems in this environmental regard, three main areas have been addressed. The first is the ability for modular systems to generate the type of floor plans currently offered by Australian high-volume builders. Second, the environmental improvement potential offered by modular systems is addressed. Lastly are the issues of structural performance and the means of the tailoring of prefabricated modular systems to residential construction standards. Through the treatment of these three areas, potential benefits of modular systems are identified, with future work necessary to implement such benefits highlighted. The need for such improvements is noted, and a framework for evaluating future developments in this area of research is presented.

Abstract:
Undertaking a work of architecture utilizing modular construction is, in most cases, a design project dominated, or at least driven by, the most technical aspects of architecture. Technical aspects which haven't been completely figured out yet. Rather than making the decision to use a pre-determined structural system in the project before going through the design process, my thesis offers an example of how a more traditional and balanced approach can improve resulting buildings. In addition, rather than allowing the technology of the module to create the form of the building, show how a thorough study of program and form can influence the structure, even in an endeavor which usually requires such hard-nosed engineering.

The Brazilian housing deficit is a problem that primarily affects the poorest part of the population. Its solution is not only to implement huge housing programs or to develop building systems, but also to evaluate these actions through the analysis of its constructability. Lower cost construction systems, tailored to local realities which can ensure to families con fort, safety and quality of life are essential when it comes to design and build social housing - SH (HIS on Portuguese). This paper, therefore, presents the development process of a modular masonry for ceramic blocks, since its conception and design until its implementation in a constructive prototype and analyses the same from the standpoint of constructability. Thus, the study uses a methodology of intensive recording and monitoring of the system's project and implementation phases. It performs a critical analysis of them, investigating, qualitatively, the constructability of the system and proposing improvements for it to reach a higher integrat ion level between projectual and executive phases. As a result, there is a systematic for studying the constructability applicable to other building systems, with results that contribute to continuous improvement on build of social housing

Abstract:
Modular housing is an important segment of the factory-built housing industry, in the Mid-Atlantic. In 1998, a study was conducted to assess the structural needs and requirements of this industry. This study addressed three questions. (1) What is the current and future state of the industry? (2) What structural material trends are present between 1992 - 2000? (3) What opportunities exist for product substitution and development of new structural materials? This study found that the modular housing industry in the Mid-Atlantic region is growing. The greatest barrier to market expansion is transportation costs. Expansion is expected in the South and Midwest regions of the US. Most competition comes from site-built and manufactured homebuilders. To stay competitive, respondents plan to increase customization options and home size. The need for cost effective, quality structural materials is a growing concern. Softwood dimensional lumber has been decreasing since 1992 and is expected continue to decrease through 2000. Decreases are due to design changes and quality concerns. The use of engineered lumber has increased in order to compensate for decreases in dimensional lumber necessary to meet the structural needs of the industry. Using factor analysis and perceptual mapping techniques, dimensional lumber was not perceived to be as suited for structural building applications as engineered lumber. However, respondents felt that engineered lumber tended to be more expensive. Perceptual mapping also identified gaps between the ideal needs of building applications and the ability of current materials to meet those needs. Opportunities for new product development exist where gaps occurred.

Abstract:
El presente trabajo de investigación es parte de un proyecto de construcción de una vivienda rural modular con instalaciones sostenibles basadas en la realidad de la Provincia de Huancabamba, distrito de Sondorillo, Piura. El aporte del presente trabajo está sustentado en el tratamiento de data confiable y existente del lugar en estudio para determinar la oferta de los recursos renovables de mayor predominancia, como es el recurso solar, eólico y agua de lluvia; con la finalidad de realizar el diseño de las instalaciones eléctricas y sanitarias de la vivienda modular propuesta teniendo en cuenta la realidad de sus necesidades que ellos demandan. La presente tesis se realizó en base a la metodología de análisis con información de diferentes fuentes e investigaciones a fines. Con ello, se realiza el tratamiento y análisis de la data existente tomando como base data proporcionada en la página oficial de la NASA, SENAMHI y la ANA. Se determinó la estimación de la energía solar global mediante el método de Bristow – Campbell, resultando un valor rentable de 4.98 kW/m2. El valor promedio de velocidad de viento del lugar se realizó mediante la distribución de Weilbull, resultando un valor de 6.32 m/s a una altura de 6 m. Asimismo, se desarrolla la propuesta de captación de agua de lluvia para ser derivada solo al inodoro de la vivienda, donde las aguas domésticas serán tratadas por medio de un biodigestor de 600 L de capacidad, obteniendo con ello una mejor calidad del servicio higiénico para el poblador en la zona rural. Los resultados fueron aprovechados para realizar el diseño de las instalaciones eléctricas y sanitarias, donde se determinó que mediante la demanda eléctrica de la vivienda es necesario contar con solo 1 panel solar de 150 Wp para abastecer a todos los aparatos eléctricos. Asimismo, se evidencia que el aerogenerador puede abastecer hasta 11 viviendas con la demanda eléctrica calculada. Por lo que se concluye, que a pesar que el lugar en estudio cuenta con una notoria carencia de los servicios de luz, agua y desagüe, queda sustentado que son afortunados por contar con recursos renovables altamente viables para su aprovechamiento e inversión.
The present research is part of a construction project of a modular rural housing with sustainable installations based on the reality of the Province of Huancabamba, district of Sondorillo, Piura. The contribution of this work is based on the treatment of reliable and existing data from the place under study to determine the supply of renewable resources of greater predominance, such as solar, wind and rainwater resources; with the purpose of carrying out the design of the electrical and sanitary installations of the modular housing proposed taking into account the reality of their needs that they demand. The present thesis was carried out based on the analysis methodology with information from different sources such as research at ends. With this, the treatment and analysis of the existing data is done taking as a base data provided in the official page of NASA, SENAMHI and the ANA. The estimation of global solar energy was determined by the Bristow - Campbell method, resulting in a profitable value of 4.98 kW/m2. The average value of wind speed of the place was made by the distribution of Weilbull, resulting in a value of 6.32 m/s at a height of 6 m. Also, the rainwater collection proposal is developed to be derived only to the toilet of the house where it will be treated by means of a biodigester of 600 L of capacity, obtaining with it a better quality of the hygienic service for the resident in the rural area. The results were used to design the electrical and sanitary installations, where it was determined that by means of the electrical demand of the house it is necessary to have only one solar panel of 150 Wp to supply all the electrical appliances. Likewise, it is evident that the wind turbine can supply up to 11 homes with the calculated electrical demand. So it is concluded that despite the fact that the place under study has a notorious lack of electricity, water and sewage services, it is supported that they are fortunate to have highly viable renewable resources for their use and investment.

Abstract:
From past research post-tensioned concrete masonry walls have performed well due to in-plane loading, yet despite the advantage of being more aesthetically pleasing, post-tensioned clay brick masonry walls have not been investigated under this loading. Five half scale structural specimens using this system were constructed and tested, and the results from these tests plus a proposed force-displacement analysis procedure are included herein. The results show that post-tensioned clay brick masonry walls are well suited for seismic regions when the walls are grouted and unbonded, and the presence of confinement plates in the compression region greatly enhances the overall performance of the wall. In addition, the force-displacement analysis shows that in order to account for the overall behavior of the wall, cyclic degradation characteristics must be included.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 448-451).
This thesis introduces elements of a methodology to achieve order and diversity in the systematic design of street facades within a modular system for housing. In its context both order and diversity refer to the spatial arrangement of architectural elements; order emphasizes repetition, whereas diversity emphasizes variation. The study addresses on one hand, the limitations of designers, design practice, and existing design theory principles in the achievement of diversity, and on the other, the opportunity provided by shape grammars, the use of evaluation rules, and the computer to develop a methodology that overcomes these limitations. The study starts by presenting a modular system developed for housing. Then it presents a set of experiments designed with the goal of discovering designers limitations to generate diversity and their perception of it. These experiments use a computer program developed to trace the design process of the experimental subjects. Results suggest that limitations in diversity are due to designers psychological tendency towards order. Three different perceived manifestations of order are identified: logic order, orderliness, and balance. Orderliness is shown to be closely related to diversity through repetition, and as such are referred to as orderliness-diversity. Based on the experimental results three algorithms are then presented: one for orderliness-diversity, and two for balance. A shape grammar and a computer program for generating facades are then developed based on the rules of the modular system and the rules developed by one of the experimental subjects within the system. In order to guarantee order and diversity, the three developed algorithms are then proposed to be used as evaluative rules of the designs generated by the shape grammar.

Abstract:
The world’s population is increasing and every day, more people are coming to the cities. People are constantly relocating their houses for meeting their needs. As societies are growing and mobility in cities is raising, cities would face challenges like accommodating the population inexpensively and providing good quality of life and stable social and environmental infrastructure for them. However, due to the fixed regulated and unadaptable construction market, the architecture doesn’t meet the changing needs of inhabitants, therefore, every day the housing market is more unaffordable because of the high demand for housing developments, lands scarce, etc. Architecture needs to be flexible to adjust itself to the current market. Since most of the relocations and high demands for building new housing projects occur when built spaces fail to meet their occupants’ growing needs. This thesis tries to find an alternative framework for designing a flexible one whereby architecture is shaped by the user’s needs and can adjust itself in a long period. This thesis also works on designing an environment that responds to the social, economic, and environmental needs of residents as one united community. Therefore, it uses a shared living idea as an affordable alternative for making houses cheaper and creating a more stable social environment for inhabitants. The content of this thesis is categorized upon the following narrative. Firstly, this thesis is trying to deepen its understanding of the matter of shared living and its possible advantages and disadvantages for producing stable social and economical infrastructure. For this purpose, it analyses a notion of shared living and shared economy through studying successful case studies. Secondly, by studying and utilizing metabolic design criteria, the thesis will form an understanding of a more sustainable approach toward architecture and built environment to design an affordable housing system that provides high quality of life for inhabitants through responding to their needs. Thirdly, the thesis will frame its design strategy based on shared living perspective and metabolic design criteria. The thesis then will illustrate its steps and methods to achieve flexible architecture through designing its module, structure, and material. Lastly, it will discuss its findings on how the shared living approach and metabolic philosophy can aid architects to design more sustainable housing units that can meet their resident’s needs through a long period and make strong social, economic, and environmental infrastructure.

El presente trabajo de investigación denominado “Propuesta de Mejora en la Planificación de Obra del Programa Nacional de Vivienda Rural (PNVR) Aplicando Pull Planning” se ha desarrollado en atención a la problemática para cumplir con los cronogramas de entrega de viviendas proyectadas según convenios desarrollados en zonas de pobreza y extrema pobreza del territorio nacional. Si bien es cierto, se ha venido construyendo módulos habitacionales con éxito desde la creación del PNVR en 2012, la eficiencia en la entrega no ha sido la esperada, generándose retraso e inconformidad por parte de los beneficiarios del programa. El PNVR nació a raíz de la necesidad de mejorar la calidad de vida de la población anteriormente descrita y lograr un acercamiento a los servicios básicos e inclusión social de las poblaciones con mayor dificultad para el desarrollo. El presente trabajo de investigación busca aportar en la mejora de la planificación del cronograma de obra, detectando restricciones en el proceso y proponiendo oportunidades de mejora para la continuidad del programa que beneficia a gran parte de la población nacional.
The present research work described "Proposal for Improvement in Work Planning of the National Rural Housing Program (PNVR) Applying Pull Planning" has been developed in response to the problem to meet the schedules of delivery of housing projected according to agreements developed in areas of poverty and extreme poverty of the national territory. Although it is true, we have been successfully building housing modules since the creation of the PNVR in 2012, the delivery efficiency has not been as expected, generating delay and disagreement on the part of the program beneficiaries. The PNVR was born as a result of the need to improve the quality of life of the population described above and achieve an approach to basic services and social inclusion of populations with greater difficulty for development. This thesis seeks to contribute to the improvement of the work schedule planning, detect restrictions in the process and propose improvement opportunities for the continuity of the program that benefits a large part of the national population.

This thesis addresses current shortcomings in the post-disaster housing response from a structural engineering perspective, proposing a new methodology to approach a multi-design standardized solution. Known environmental loading taken from building codes is analyzed over the entire United States to create a data-set that describes the distinct loading conditions of each region. Loads are clustered into grouping that suggest a single housing typology could address the structural need of the group. Additional non-structural data is added in consideration of performance-driven design metrics that are not structural by nature. To prove viability of the methodology, a case study was implemented to propose a structural design for a selected cluster of regions. Performance-based design was implemented through parametric modeling tools considering multiple objectives including structural weight, transportation logistics, interior thermal comfort, and off-grid utilities. The exercise demonstrated that the cluster analysis serves as a practicable tool for intelligently informed standardized housing design.

Abstract:
Ett samhällsproblem i Sverige under de senaste åren har varit antalet studentbostäder på landets lärosäten. Idag kan enbart fyra studieorter erbjuda bostadsgaranti för sina nytillkomna studenter, där bostadsgaranti innebär bostad inom 30 dagar. Byggandet av studentbostäder stannade av helt år 2010 då endast 125 stycken blev byggda. Från 2012 och framåt har trenden börjat vända och framtiden ser bättre ut men det är inte i närheten av att kunna mätta det behov som finns. Idag bor cirka 25-30 procent av Sveriges studenter i studentbostäder. Bostadsbristen är störst på de största studieorterna i Sverige. Den här rapporten ska belysa de studentbostäder som byggts från 2012 och framåt samt kommande projekt. Korta presentationer av dessa projekt ort för ort återfinns i rapporten. En undersökning av vad studenter anser är viktigt att ingå i en lägenhet samt hur man kan tänkas bo presenteras även i rapporten där boendeform, hyra och andra intressanta fakta tas upp. Behovet av studentbostäder är stort och akut och det görs insatser för att mätta dessa behov, ett av dem är att snabbt bygga via moduler som sätts på plats. En inventering av företag som jobbar med detta där deras verksamhet presenteras finns i rapporten. Ett annat alternativ är att på befintliga byggnader bygga studentbostäder på vindsvåning även detta kommer att behandlas i ett kort avsnitt i denna rapport. Studentbostadsbristen i Sverige är ett samhällsproblem. Denna rapport ska vara till grund för att påskynda lösningen på detta problem. Genom att läsa rapporten får man en uppfattning om vad som byggs och vad som är på väg att byggas. Man får en klar bild över hur mycket en student är beredd att betala i månaden för sitt boende och kan på så sätt göra rätt val och avvägningar vid kommande projekt, vilket leder till ekonomiska besparingar.
A social problem in Sweden, in recent years, has been the number of student housing at the Sweden's universities. As of today, only four study locations offers home guarantee for their newly added students. The home guarantee means housing within 30 days. Construction of student housing was at an almost complete standstill the whole year of 2010, since only 125 housings were built. From 2012 and onwards, the trend has started to reverse, and the future looks better but it is nowhere near being able to satisfy the needs. Today, about 25-30 percent of the Swedish students are living in student housing. The student housing shortage is most alarming at the largest study centers in Sweden. This report will highlight the student residences built onwards from 2012 as well as upcoming projects. Short presentations of these projects can be found in this report. A survey about which facilities students feel are important to be included in an apartment is presented in the report. Furthermore, which type of housing, rent and other interesting facts are also brought up and presented in the same survey. The need for student housing is large and acute and efforts are made to satisfy these needs, one of them is the building process which includes modules which is a quicker way of building than traditional building techniques. An inventory of the companies which use this kind of module approach is presented in this report. Another option, when it comes to building student housing, is to build these on attics on existing buildings and this will also be addressed in a short section of this report. The student housing shortage in Sweden is a social problem which affects many levels of society. This report intends to be the basis for accelerating the solution to this problem. By reading this report you will get an idea of what is built and what is yet to be built. You will get a clear picture of how much a student is prepared to pay a month for their accommodation, and thus you have the opportunity to make the right choices and trade-offs in future projects, leading to financial savings for your company.

Abstract:
If we look at the construction industry, particularly the modular single-family construction industry, we often see that the design stage is distinctly separate from the construction and fabrication stages. This separation has been occurring for some time now, however, there is often a noticeable lack of understanding of the constraints in linking architectural design to modular construction for single-family housing. In addition, no framework exists which seeks to support overcoming these constraints for the architectural design process while simultaneously bringing knowledge of fabrication, materials selection, and modular construction to the early stage of design. Also, there is a lack of knowledge of fabrication and modular construction constraints by many architects. This research intended to focus upon mapping the design and manufacturing processes for a specific scale of projects: residential single-family units. The research also aimed to understand the relationships among design, the role of emerging technologies, and manufacturing within the modular home construction industry in order to develop a design process that is based upon mass customization, rather than mass production. Thus, qualitative research methods based upon a grounded theory approach were used for evaluating, capturing, and structuring knowledge. To achieve the greatest possible amount of useful information, case studies of on-site visits to manufactured housing production facilities and structured, in-depth, open-ended interviews of architects, engineers, production managers, business managers, and other knowledge-holders within the manufactured modular housing industry were performed. The aim of this research was to map the design and modular homes manufacturing processes in an effort to better understand the relationships between these two domains. The Integration Definition (IDEF0) for Function Modeling was used as a graphical presentation technique. The goal of using such a graphical technique was, first, to understand and analyze the functions of the existing "As-is" design-manufacture communication process; and second, to enhance and improve the communication and productivity performances among people working in the design, manufacturing, and production sectors. Using this graphical modeling method assisted with mapping the design and modular manufacturing processes, including organizations, teams, decisions, actions, and activities. Through this mapping process, strategies to improve the emergent relationships were proposed as a new "To-be" design and manufacturing framework for modular single-family housing projects.

Abstract:
With the greatly increased rate of social and economic change in North America since World War II, the flexible/adaptable house has become an alternative to the conventional single-family, detached housing that both exceeds the needs and means of many non-traditional households. Theories and experience worldwide have shown that housing flexibility that is based on user participation allows decision-makers to adapt housing projects to meet the changing general needs. However, technological bottlenecks in the invention of new materials and techniques can restrict flexibility. This study examines construction products that contribute to increased flexibility in wood-frame low-rise housing.
Prefabrication has been the construction industry's approach to achieving housing flexibility. The strategy has been to incorporate flexibility into each subsystem or component through the use of new materials and techniques, in order to create overall building flexibility. The research presented in this thesis shows that different products offer different levels of flexibility, and that combining them does not necessarily produce greater overall flexibility. By examining the positive and negative aspects of these products, the author is able to suggest new directions for the development of future innovations in housing flexibility.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The lack of adequate housing becomes an increasing concern as the human population increases, which is not only restricted to Africa, but worldwide. With the world becoming more environmentally aware, the aim towards more sustainable development has become more essential. This results in alternative building technologies (ABT’s) being investigated to address the backlog in housing. This study investigates plastic materials as structural elements in low-income housing to address the housing backlog in a structurally stable, cost efficient and environmentally sustainable manner. The viable plastic materials that were identified are FFC (foam-fibre composite) and WPC (wood-plastic composite) as structural elements and EPS (expanded polystyrene) as a core infill panel. Material parameters were obtained experimentally which were used in a numerical analysis to validate the structural stability of a modular WPC housing unit. The experimental work includes a direct compression, direct tension, compressive creep and a four-point bending test for the WPC. With the sandwich panels a push-though shear and four-point bending test were done. The compressive strength of the EPS as well as a relative bond strength of the selected adhesives was also tested. Furthermore, a comparative study was conducted on the fire performance (fire rating), cost efficiency as well as the environmental sustainability of three housing units constructed of FFC, WPC and block and mortar, respectively. In terms of structural stability, a modular plastic housing unit was devised and validated by both experimental work and plastic material investigations which showed that WPC can be used for load-bearing walling (with EPS as core infill panel), roofing and flooring systems. From the comparative study, it was found that the fire rating of the block and mortar housing unit met the requirements of 20 and 30 minutes for the internal and external walls, respectively, prescribed by SANS 10400-T (2011). The fire rating of the block and mortar housing unit was met in terms of integrity, insulation and stability. The two modular plastic housing units, however, only met the fire rating in terms of integrity and insulation, but failed to meet the requirements in terms of stability. The approach used to determine the fire behaviour of a housing unit is not as accurate as the physical fire test, since assumptions are made in terms of the fire properties. However, the approach gives an indication of the fire performance of a housing unit. FFC and WPC are laminated with PVC (polyvinyl chloride) which emits hydrochloride acid (HCl), when burning. Hydrochloride acid is a toxic gas. Thus, according to one of the minimum norms, stipulated by the NHBRC Home Building Manual and Agrément, an adequate housing unit should not emit harmful gasses. Although these regulations are not mandatory, in terms of this, WPC and FFC are not viable building materials for an adequate housing unit, especially when human behaviour and smoke control are considered. However, this aspect can be improved by adding additives to control, and in some cases prevent, smoke production. The comparative study also indicated that the cost efficiency of the FFC housing unit is comparable to that of the block and mortar design. The modular WPC housing unit has a cost which is substantially greater than that of the FFC as well as the block and mortar housing units. The modular plastic housing units, FFC as well as WPC, typically utilise unskilled labour to construct a housing unit, which can lead to the socioeconomic conditions of a community being improved by means of job creation. Due to the relative ease of construction of a modular plastic housing unit as well as a construction period of approximately three days, the demand for housing can be reached at a more rapid pace than by using conventional methods. In terms of the environmental sustainability, the plastic materials showed less negative environmental impacts as well as improved energy efficiency compared to the block and mortar unit.
AFRIKKANSE OPSOMMING: Die tekort aan voldoende behuising raak ʼn kommerwekkende probleem in die huidige samelewing soos die wêreld populasie aan hou toeneem, waar hierdie probleem nie net tot Afrika beperk is nie. Soos die wêreld meer omgewingsbewus raak, word daar gestrewe na meer volhoubare ontwikkeling in die boubedryf wat aanleiding gee tot die ontwikkeling van alternatiewe bou tegnologieë (ABT’e) om die behuisingsagterstand op te los. Plastiese materiale word ondersoek vir hul gebruik as strukturele elemente in lae-inkomste behuising om die behuisingsagterstand in ʼn struktureel stabiele-, koste effektiewe- en omgewingsvolhoubare manier op te los. Geskikte plastiese materiale is geïdentifiseer as SVS (skuim-vesel samestelling) en HPS (hout-plastiek samestelling) vir gebruik as strukturele elemente en uitgesette polistireen is gebruik as ʼn invul paneel. Materiële eienskappe was eksperimenteel bepaal, wat in ʼn numeriese analise gebruik was om die strukturele stabiliteit van ʼn modulêre HPS behuisingseenheid te verifieer. Die eksperimentele werk sluit ʼn direkte druk, direkte trek, druk kruip en ʼn vier-punt buig toets in, wat uitgevoer is met HPS. Vir die saamgestelde paneel was daar ʼn druk-deur skuif en ʼn vier-punt buig toets gedoen. ʼn Druk toets met die uitgesette polistireen en ʼn relatiewe verband sterkte vir die geselekteerde gomme was ook getoets. Verder, is ʼn vergelykende studie gedoen op die vuur uitvoering (vuurbestand waardering), koste effektiwiteit en die omgewingsvolhoubaarheid van ʼn SVS-, HPS- en blok-en-mortel behuisingseenheid. ’n Ontwerp is bepaal en geverifieer deur beide eksperimentele werk en analitiese ondersoeke, wat gewys het dat HPS gebruik kan word as ʼn lasdraende muurpaneel (met uitgesette polistireen invul), so wel as ʼn dak- en vloer sisteem. Daar is gevind, vanaf die vergelykende studie, dat die vuur uitvoering van die blok-en-mortel behuisingseenheid voldoen aan die vereiste van 20 en 30 minute onderskeidelik vir die interne en eksterne mure, soos voorgeskryf deur die SANS 10400-T (2011). Die vuur waardering van die blok-en-mortel behuisingseenheid het in terme van integriteit, insolasie en stabiliteit voldoen. Die twee modulêre plastiek behuisingseenhede het erger aan die vuur waardering slegs in trems van integriteit en insolasie voldoen. Hul het misluk in die voldoening in terme van stabiliteit. Die benadering wat gebruik was om die vuur gedrag van ʼn behuisingseenheid te bepaal, is nie so akkuraat soos ʼn fisiese vuur toets nie. Dit is omdat vir die benadering aannames in terme van die vuur eienskappe gemaak is. Die benadering gee egter ʼn indikasie van die vuur uitvoering van ʼn behuisingseenheid. SVS en HPS is gelamineer met PVC (poliviniel chloried) wat hidrochloried suur (HCl) afgee wanneer dit brand. Hidrochloried suur is ʼn giftige gas. Volgens een van die minimum norms, gestipuleer deur die NHBRC Home Building Manual en Agrément, moet ʼn voldoende behuisingseenheid nie giftige gasse afgee nie. Al is die regulasies nie verpligtend nie, in terme hiervan, is SVS en HPS nie ʼn uitvoerbare boumateriaal vir ʼn voldoende behuisingseenheid nie, veral wanneer menslike gedrag en rook beheer aangespreek word nie. Nietemin, die aspek kan verbeter word deur die byvoeging van bymiddels om die rook produsering te verminder en in sommige omstandighede te voorkom. Die vergelykende studie het ook gewys, dat die koste effektiwiteit van die SVS-behuisingseenheid vergelykbaar is met die van ʼn blok-en-mortel behuisingseenheid. Die HPS-behuisingseenheid se koste is aansienlik hoër as die van SVS-en die blok-en-mortel behuisingseenheid. Die modulêre plastiese, SVS en HPS, behuisingseenheid maak tipies gebruik van ongeskoolde werkers om die behuisingseenhuid op te rug, wat tot ʼn verbetering in die sosio-ekonomiese toestande in ʼn gemeenskap kan lei, deur dat dit werk skep. Aangesien die modulêre plastiese behuisingseenheid met relatiewe gemak en in ongeveer drie dae opgerig kan word, kan die aanvraag tot behuising vinniger bereik word, as wanner die konvensionele boumetodes gebruik word. In terme van omgewingsvolhoubaarheid, het die plastiese materiale minder negatiewe omgewingsimpakte en is meer energie-doeltreffend in vergelyking met die blok-en-mortel onwerp.

Abstract:
Market demand for housing changes over time, in response to the wants and needs of both individuals and society. Changes in socio-demographics highlight the emergence of non-traditional households in Canada and influence the configuration of a house (or product) which meets buyers' individual requirements. In turn, this affects the design approach (or process). At the same time, society today requires sustainability in housing development, since building a house consumes large amounts of energy during construction and after occupancy.
Technology that improves the cost and performance of housing has advanced over time. Although some innovative design and construction systems (or approaches) that attempt to meet societal and individual demands for housing are available in today's market, homebuilders tend not to apply unfamiliar approaches to their housing developments, since their business operation is often based on convention. Another reason, which inhibits a builder's adoption of new housing technology, is the extra cost required for seeking and analysing information. Thus, the homebuilders' decision-making processes for the adoption of 'familiar' and 'unfamiliar' design and construction systems (or housing systems) which affect the configuration of housing need to be well programmed.
Accordingly, this study, composed of four parts, focuses initially on identifying housing market trends and issues in Quebec, as well as introducing the new concept of mass customisation that encourages homebuilders to standardise parts of a house---i.e. the creation of mass custom homes. Then, in consideration of this new concept, as well as a value analysis approach that helps facilitate homebuilders' buying decisions, it proposes a choice model for the design and construction approaches to the delivery of 'lower-cost and higher-performance' housing. Thirdly, to assess its practicality, the proposed decision-making model is demonstrated in collaboration with a selected homebuilder in Quebec. Finally, the results of this study are discussed in depth in order to identify future research opportunities.
In view of the demonstration project conducted in this study, the author concluded that the proposed 'choice model' could function effectively as a practical decision-making support tool (or system) that helps open the door for homebuilders to generate and select alternatives that aid them to produce lower-cost and higher-performance housing. As a consequence of programming the homebuilders' buying decision-making process, the goal identification uncertainty and goal/purchase matching uncertainty, which often hinder their adoption of unfamiliar, innovative housing systems, could be reduced, or eliminated.

Abstract:
Det råder en bostadsbrist i Stockholm till följd av flera decennier med låg nyproduktion av bostäder och hög befolkningstillväxt. Bostadspriserna är rekordhöga liksom bostadsköerna och hyrorna på andrahandsmarknaden. En grupp som drabbas särskilt hårt av bostadsbristen är unga vuxna som generellt har både låg inkomst och kort kötid i bostadsköerna. För att förbättra boendesituationen för gruppen unga vuxna har modulbostäder för ungdomar byggts på tidsbegränsade bygglov. Regeringen kommer under 2017 sannolikt att besluta om en lagändring som innebär en förenkling i reglerna om tidsbegränsade bygglov för bostadsändamål. Något som väntas bidra till ett ökat byggande av temporära bostäder. I denna rapport har två bostadsprojekt byggda på tidsbegränsade bygglov och avsedda för unga vuxna studerats genom intervjuer med hyresgäster och byggherrar. Syftet med fallstudierna har varit att utreda om temporärt bostadsbyggande är en hållbar lösning för att stärka unga vuxnas ställning på bostadsmarknaden. Ytterligare har en djupgående kartläggning av Stockholms bostadsmarknad gjorts med syfte att fastställa hur omfattande den rådande bostadsbristen är och hur allvarligt unga vuxnas påverkas av den. Studien visar att bostadsmarknaden i Stockholm befinner sig i kraftig obalans och kan befinna sig i riskzonen för ett prisfall. Ett prisfall skulle drabba unga belånade hushåll särskilt hårt med anledning av att gruppen har en hög skuldsättning, både med avseende på skuldkvot och belåningsgrad. Unga vuxna har kort kötid i bostadsköerna och i länet utgör unga vuxna mellan 18-30 år åldersgruppen med lägst genomsnittlig inkomst, en förklaring till varför skuldsättningen är högst bland yngre hushåll. Ovan nämnda faktorer förklarar varför unga vuxna som grupp har en svag ställning på bostadsmarknaden. Fallstudierna visar att tidsbegränsade bygglov i kombination med modulärt byggande möjliggör rekordsnabbt uppförande av ungdomsbostäder. Det finns dock en viss problematik är kopplad till konceptet som i slutändan påverkar hyresgästerna. Problematiken med temporärt byggande grundar sig osäkerheten av husens restvärde när byggloven upphör. Temporära bostäder kan byggas med "låg boendestandad & låg ekonomisk risk" eller "hög boendestandard & hög ekonomisk risk". De studerade projekten tillsammans bidragit till att förbättra boendesituationen för närmare 500 unga vuxna. För att stärka unga vuxnas ställning som grupp behövs däremot mer omfattande bostadssatsningar riktade mot gruppen. Min bedömning är att temporära ungdomsbostäder är ett gott komplement till nyproduktion av permanenta bostäder men inte bör ses som en långsiktigt hållbar lösning på bostadsproblematiken.
There is a current housing shortage in Stockholm as a result of several decades with low rates of new production of housing and high rates of population growth. The housing prices as well as the housing queues and the rent levels in the secondary market are historically high. Young people are highly affected of the housing shortage due to their overall low incomes and short time in the housing queues. To improve the housing situation for young people there have been built some youth dwellings on time restricted building permits. In 2017 the Swedish government will probably ease the legislation of time restricted building permits for housing purposes. This is expected to contribute to more construction on temporary housing. In this paper two housing projects built on time restricted building permits intended for young people is studied by interviews with the tenants and the developers. The purpose of the case studies is to investigate if temporary housing is a sustainable solution to strengthen young people’s position in the housing market. Further an extensive investigation of the housing market in Stockholm is done, with purpose to determine how extensive the housing shortage is and how seriously young people are affected of it. The result shows that the housing situation in Stockholm is imbalanced and the risk of falling housing prices may be increased. Decreasing housing prices would affect young people hardly due to their overall high depts. Young people have short time in the housing queues and people in the age of 18 – 30 represents the group with the lowest incomes rates in Stockholm country. This is the explanation why young people have the highest housing debts. Due to this factors young people have a weak position on the housing market The case studies shows that time restricted housing permits in combination with modular housing allows exceptional fast construction of housing. However the is some problems connected to the concept which affects the tenants. The problems with temporary housing are connected to the uncertain salvage value of the houses when the building permits expires. Temporary housing can be built with "low housing standard & low economic risk" or "high housing standard and high economic risk". The projects studied have contributed to improve the hosing situation for near 500 young people. However to improve the housing situation for the young people as a group, more extensive housing efforts are needed towards the group. My assessment is that temporary youth housing is a good complement to new construction of permanent housing but should not be seen as a long-term sustainable solution to the housing shortage.

Abstract:
Many people in Mithi, Tharparkar do not have proper housing, face an unhygienic water supply, and have no sanitation facilities. These factors contribute to disease, suffering and the inability to rise above their destitute existence. The idea for building portable houses for the people of Mithi is presented to provide them with better living conditions and where they can feel a sense of security, ownership and sanitation. Research on existing building systems and materials showed that the most feasible structure for the desert environment is modular panels attached to a core unit that contains all the basic plumbing and electrical fixtures. The unit can be expanded based on family needs. Discussion with government officials showed that these could be used for the immediate needs of the people who have been suffering more acutely the last several years due to a drought. They could also be a permanent solution to the housing crisis if the "Chelson Shelter" communities worked well for ten years. The infrastructure in the Tharparker Desert is inadequate to support typical housing. These shelters have low environmental impact, use little water and electricity and would be a good solution to make a community of people that can support each other and provide security.

Tese de Mestrado em Arquitectura de Interiores
O objectivo deste estudo é o de desenvolver uma proposta de projecto de arquitectura para uma habitação que satisfaça as condições básicas humanas no âmbito do Concurso OS House – Open Source House Design Competition, segundo um pensamento sustentável. Procura-se perceber e propor uma arquitectura que possa responder de forma eficaz perante uma situação de grande carência socioeconómica e equacionar como a arquitectura poderá tornar-se uma ferramenta ágil e capaz de ajudar a resolver os problemas básicos da condição humana no domínio da habitação, de forma sustentável e com economia de recursos. Pretende-se assim, estudar como a arquitectura pode melhorar a qualidade de vida das pessoas quando estas são confrontadas com situações de precariedade. Procura-se avaliar as condições do local destinado a esta proposta - o Gana, e equacionar soluções de intervenção que minimizem a crise habitacional vivida neste país. O presente relatório de projecto final no contexto da arquitectura e desenvolvimento social, inicia-se com a participação no Concurso OS House – Open Source House Design Competition e incide no Caso de Estudo do Gana, partindo da análise das condições de vida da população pertencente à classe média emergente deste país no objectivo de elaborar uma proposta de habitação. Com este estudo, pretendem-se lançar contributos para um debate quanto à problemática da habitação e do respectivo projecto de arquitectura num contexto em vias de desenvolvimento. Parafraseando Cameron Sinclair, acredito que “onde os recursos e competência técnica forem escassos, o projecto inovador e sustentável pode fazer diferença na vida das pessoas” e contornar o problema social da habitação sentido em alguns países do mundo, bem como a crise habitacional que se sente actualmente no Gana.
The purpose of this study is to develop an architectural project proposal for a dwelling that meets the basic human conditions within the Contest OS House - Open Source House Design Competition, according to a sustainable concept. We seek to understand and propose an architecture that may effectively respond to a situation of high socio-economic deprivation, and consider how architecture can become a flexible tool to help solving basic problems of human condition in the field of housing, in a sustainable and resource-saving manner. Thus, the aim is to study how architecture can improve people’s quality of life whenever they confront precarious situations. We aim to assess the conditions of the site for this proposal - Ghana, considering intervention solutions that can minimize house living crisis in this country. This final Master Degree project, presenting a proposal for housing in the context of architecture and social development, begins by participating in the Contest OS House - Open Source House Design Competition, focuses on the Case Study of Ghana and is based on an analysis of living conditions of the population that belongs to the emerging middle class of the country. With this study, I intend to launch a contribution to a debate about issues of housing and its architectural design in the contingency context and economic fragility. To paraphrase Cameron Sinclair, we believe that “where resources and expertise are scarce, the innovative and sustainable design may make the difference in peoples lives”, and help to minimize the social housing problem in some countries in the world, as well as the housing crisis that actually affects Ghana.

Abstract:
The affordability crisis in the North American housing market has prompted the construction industry to reexamine technologies designed to lower cost through the factory mass production process. This thesis concentrates on modular prefabricated housing in the Province of Quebec in order to determine if this housing option can supply a less expensive alternative to comparable conventionally built housing. As issues of construction cost are allied with the quality of construction, a comparison between the conventional and the manufactured building industries, at this level, is also essential. Surveys evaluating sales cost and quality of construction have been developed for the modular prefabricated and conventional single family detached housing industry for the Province of Quebec. Fifteen prefabricated home builders and six conventional home builders were surveyed in order to facilitate the comparison between the two industries. It was found, based on the builders surveyed, that the average level of construction quality was consistent in both industries. The prefabricated residential home builders, however, proved on average to be approximately ten percent more expensive than the conventional home builders surveyed. Reasons for these cost discrepancies have been found to be related to the high start-up costs inherent in the manufactured housing industry, the overall cyclical market demand for housing, as well as price protection for distributors of manufactured housing.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Arquitetura, com a especialização em Arquitetura apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.
Com a perda da capital da colónia, no século XIX, a pequena e remota Ilha do Príncipe cai numa espiral de esquecimento e alienação, não só para o país colonizador como para a sua ilha irmã, São Tomé. Actualmente, a dependência económica em relação à capital do país, a dificuldade de chegada de produtos e o genérico desinteresse pela ilha por parte de uma economia global moldaram a consciência de um povo que vive quase exclusivamente daquilo que a ilha lhe dá. Na sua única cidade, tanto as condições do edificado como da infra-estrutura urbana são débeis. São frequentes os incêndios, com elevados danos materiais e humanos, como o é a propagação de doenças, exponenciada pela localização problemática da cidade, num vale pantanoso e antigo foco de infecções e epidemias. Santo António do Príncipe é hoje um retrato vivo da sua condição histórica: um pequeno porto de abrigo do qual quiseram fazer cidade, uma pequena capital encravada entre o mar e a selva. Confrontando-se com a possibilidade de desenvolvimento do aglomerado, é proposta uma intervenção urbana que, não deixando de considerar a cultura construtiva local, deverá apresentar soluções novas e sustentáveis para os problemas existentes. A infra-estrutura ganha um papel de destaque, sendo utilizada não só como meio de resposta aos problemas emergentes da cidade, mas também como ferramenta para regrar o crescimento e desenvolvimento do meio construído. Assim, ela é assumida como elemento reformulador do território, definindo-se como fronteira ao invés de limite e intensificando relações dentro do tecido urbano.
ABSTRACT: With the loss of the colony’s capital in the 19th century, the small and remote Island of Prince falls into a spiral of alienation, not only by the colonizing country as by its sister island São Tomé. Today, the economic dependence on the country’s capital, the difficulty of the arrival of products and the general lack of interest on the island by the global economy have shaped the consciousness of the people living almost exclusively from what the island provides them. In the one city of the island, both building conditions and urban infrastructure are weak. Fires with material and human losses are very frequent, as is the spread of diseases. This is exacerbated by the city’s problematic location, in a swampy valley that was once a focus of infections and epidemics. This way, Santo António is today a living portrait of its historical condition: a small port of refuge that was to be a city, a small capital embedded between the sea and the jungle. While confronting the possibility of local development, this work proposes an urban intervention, that aims not only to consider the local constructive culture but also provide solutions to existing problems. Here, the infrastructure acquires a prominent role, being used not only as a means of providing an answer to emerging city problems but also as a tool to oversee the growth and development of the built environment. Thus, the infrastructure is assumed as a renewing element of the territory, defining itself more as a frontier than a limit and intensifying the existing relations within the urban fabric.

Abstract:
Energy efficient houses benefit communities not only to provide renewable energy shares and generating surplus electricity supporting local economic development. Also, residents in energy efficient houses have less energy usage that reduces household budget expenses. However, one of the obstacles of energy efficient technology installment of residential buildings is high investment cost, which can be solved with the usage of modular housing. In Europe, housing costs have a large share, especially for Sweden, housing expenses is a burden mostly for people who are at the risk of poverty. Also, high investment costs of energy efficient housing are combined with high construction prices leading a large share of budgets and effort to make houses affordable for low income groups. This study develops a scenario to find solutions for affordable housing problem in Sweden with a design proposal. The aim of this study is to investigate if there are ways of achieving socio-economic mix by the production of energy efficient affordable housing and urban gardening to develop a strategy for resource efficiency in Jakobsgårdarna. To achieve the aim, energy efficient affordable housing designed as modular units to achieve a local economic development. This study uses a design-based research method consisting of learning from background cases to transfer lesson learned in design phase of the sustainable neighborhood consisting of energy efficient technologies. Background cases were analyzed with literature review to define sustainable neighborhood, which was then used to develop a hypothesis. Findings of this thesis generates definition of sustainability tools consisting of a collaborative ownership; designing common kitchens; producing electricity and biogas from renewable energy sources; practicing urban agriculture; managing waste and storm and methods to cross subsidize energy efficient affordable housing production. The outcome of this research provides a sustainable neighborhood design proposal for Jacobsgårdarna, Borlänge.

Abstract:
Temporary building permits for housing purposes has recently received attention thanks to an addition to the Planning and Building Act (9 chap. 33a§). This addition should make it easier to receive temporary building permits for housing, even if the need is not deemed to be temporary. This is done with the hope that temporary housing can help reducing the housing shortage in Sweden. However, there are a number of challenges to be aware of when developing temporary housing, as housing should be adequate, affordable, and socially sustainable.  This study explores the usage of temporary building permits for housing in Stockholm. The situation was explored through archive search that resulted in descriptive statistics, and an exploration of five cases. These cases were evaluated based on social sustainability factors that could be related to the built environment and the development process. The time frames of the cases were put in relation to how the notion of temporary is used within the post-disaster context and in temporary urbanism. That resulted in a framework for categorizing interventions in the built environment based on their time frames, which can be useful for exploring the temporal aspects of the built environment and how the notion of temporary can be understood.  This study shows that temporary housing in Stockholm is mostly targeted at specific groups in society, and that it is developed with an adequate standard, but the possible effect that the temporary aspect could have on the residents is not problematized and the small number of projects means that it will not contribute to reducing the housing shortage in Stockholm. The conclusion of this study is that temporary housing can be socially sustainable (when only considering physical factors), but it does not contribute to an increase in social sustainability on a larger societal scale.
Tidsbegränsade bygglov för bostäder har fått uppmärksamhet de senaste åren på grund av ett tillägg till Plan- och bygglagen (9 kap. 33a§). Målet med detta tillägg är att det ska bli enklare att få tidsbegränsat bygglov för bostäder, även om behovet av bostäderna bedöms vara längre än tiden för bygglovet. Förhoppningen är att dessa temporära bostäder ska bidra till att minska bostadsbristen i Sverige. Det är dock viktigt att vara uppmärksam på att det finns utmaningar som behöver beaktas i projekt för temporära bostäder, då de bör vara lämpliga bostäder, tillgängliga till ett överkomligt pris, och socialt hållbara. I denna studie utforskas användningen av tidsbegränsade bygglov för bostäder i Stockholm. Situationen undersöktes med hjälp av arkivsökningar som resulterade i beskrivande statistik, samt en studie av fem fall där tidsbegränsade bygglov använts för bostäder. Dessa utvärderades utifrån ett antal faktorer för social hållbarhet som kan relateras till den byggda miljön och processer som rör denna. Tidsramarna för fallen sattes i relation till hur begreppet temporärt används inom postdisaster forskning och temporär urbanism för att undersöka temporala aspekter av den byggda miljön, samt hur begreppet temporär kan förstås och definieras. Detta resulterade i ett ramverk för att kategorisera händelser i den byggda miljön baserat på dess tidsramar.  Resultatet av studien visar att temporära bostäder i Stockholm utvecklas med en adekvat standard, men de effekter som den temporära aspekten skulle kunna ha på de boende problematiseras inte i debatten.  Temporära bostäder riktas oftast till specifika grupper i samhället och det utvecklas såpass få temporära bostäder att de inte kan sägas bidra till att minska bostadsbristen i Stockholm. Sammanfattningsvis så kan temporära bostäder vara socialt hållbara (om hänsyn bara tas till fysiska faktorer), men det bidrar inte till en socialt hållbar utveckling.

Abstract:
A problem with the construction line of business versus the environment is that there are not that much knowledge and rules around the carbon dioxide emissions that several construction projects releases. A lot of companies that we contacted didn´t have the knowledge about the carbon dioxide that releases from the construction projects that they´ve built. This is understandable because it is a very difficult calculation to do, it requires very advanced tools and knowledge around the subject to make detailed calculations. With this master thesis, we want to compare prefabricated buildings with different materials from an environmental perspective with a focus on the carbon dioxide. The different materials we are comparing are steel and tree.   The purpose with this master thesis is to create a basis for Riki AB so that they will have a better sight on the environmental impact from their steel prefabrications which is shipped from China and this will be done with a comparison between a Swedish traditional half prefabricated apartment building.   The first step for the thesis has been a literature study and interviews about the subject. The obtained literature study consists of rapports, relatable thesis, analysis and digital internet sources. The interviews were implemented with companies which were knowledgeable of prefabrication and materials, this was done to get a deeper understanding of the materials effects of the environment.   The result of this examination results that the prefabricated apartment buildings made of steel from China has a larger carbon dioxide emission compared to the Swedish half prefabricated apartment buildings made of tree.

Abstract:
The prefabricated home has been said to be the site of innovation, exploration and sometimes spectacular failure since the mid 20th-century (Home Delivery, 8). Despite years of research and advancements in technology, pre-synthesization in the domestic realm has typically remained loyal to past construction methods/materials and banal aesthetic ripostes. As a result, the modern pre-synthesized home suffers in terms of programmatic diversity, spatial feedback, supertemporal expansion (in reference to the supertemporal art movement) and societal acceptance. Materials and technologies are constantly upgrading in our increasingly technetronic society. Re-marketing the prefabricated home will require a similar modus operandi. Investigating the successes and failures of other prefabricated products and systems will lead to a better understanding of what the next generation of pre-synthesized housing systems will require. These requirements are then to be cultivated and supported by a theoretical entity, deployableHOMES, which represents an architectural process in a product oriented civilization. Motivated by the performance capabilities of underutilized materials such as FRP pultrusion and concrete polymer technology, this thesis proposes the formulation of a pre-synthesized component housing system which offers the maximum plasticity of design by allowing for distinctive environmental, spatial and programmatic responses. The system will be used to articulate a series of prototypes to be deployed in different topographical conditions. The future of prefabrication lies not in a series of ephemeral structures, which adopt non inclusive proprietary construction systems, but with fully integrated systems of interactive components. Components which allow for the refl ection of changes in societies perspectives of understood programmatic space and aesthetics of domestic tectonic pragmatism. These changes attempt to inaugurate an anti-in situ architectural movement which no longer imitates individuality or spatially responsive interactive design.

Abstract:
Purpose: Industrial built modular housing is an off-site construction type, which means the modules are built in a factory and transported to the building site for assembly. The modules are built on an assembly line in a standardized and rationalized process. The modular building system has potential to lower the housing shortage, since it is more time and cost effective compared to traditional construction types. The disadvantage with the modular housing industry is that you often see poor exterior design results, due to the lack of flexibility in the system. Facades can be repetitive and have too large proportions. Therefore, the purpose of the work is to get an understanding of how the quality of exterior design can be improved in modular housing, by answering (1) How is the correlation between exterior design and modular building described by architects in the industry? (2) What are the restrictions for exterior design in modular housing? (3) How can the quality of exterior design in modular housing be developed, in regards to the restrictions of the building system? Method: A literary study is performed to identify the main restrictions and also the possibilities of development for modular housing. Combined with the literary study, interviews are being held with six respondents from the industry. The respondents explain their view on the correlation between exterior design and the modular building system. The interviews are also studying different buildings where the respondents have been involved. Findings: The technical restrictions are mainly the size of the modules due to transporting requirements and the joints between them. The ability to adjust to them are limited by the budget of the project. The projects tend to be more cost-oriented, rather than focusing on architectural quality and therefore the exterior design is suffering. To create good modular houses that give something back to the city, there must be a change in the industry. Contractors and the municipalities are the most important participants in this process. Implications: The biggest improvement possibilities that can make the most change in the future are; competition on the market, ambitious contractors, process and product development, higher municipal requirements and also new technical solutions that provide good design to a lower price.  Limitations: The result is limited to only exterior design in the modular housing industry, focusing on multi-family housing on the Swedish market. The study is a general analysis and does not go into depth on each problem. It is more meant to be a guideline to where the problem areas exist.
Syfte: Industriellt byggda volymhus är färdiginredda volymer som tillverkas i fabrik, som transporteras till byggplats för montage. Volymelementen tillverkas på ett löpande band i en standardiserad och rationaliserad process. Detta byggsystem kan bidra till att minska rådande bostadsbrist, då det är mer kostnads- och tidseffektivt jämfört med traditionella byggsystem. Man ser dock exempel på att den exteriöra utformningen blir lidande, på grund av den begränsade flexibiliteten som byggsystemet medför. Fasader kan exempelvis upplevas som enformiga, till följd av upprepningar av geometrier och för stora huskroppar. Därför är målet med arbetet att få förståelse för hur kvaliteten av den exteriöra utformningen av industriellt byggda volymhus kan utvecklas, genom frågeställningarna; (1) Hur beskrivs samverkan mellan exteriör utformning och industriellt byggande, av arkitekter i volymhusbranschen? (2) Vilka begränsningar finns vid volymhustillverkning för exteriör utformning på flerbostadshus? (3) Hur kan man utveckla utformningen av exteriören på volymhus, med hänsyn till de förutsättningar som industriellt byggande medför? Metod: En litteraturstudie genomförs för att identifiera huvudsakliga begränsningar samt utvecklingsmöjligheter för tillverkning av volymhus. Tillsammans med litteraturstudien genomförs intervjuer där sex respondenter från volymhusbranschen som förklarar sin syn på samverkan mellan god kvalitet på exteriör utformning och det industriella byggsystemet. I intervjuerna studeras även referensobjekt där den aktuella respondenten varit involverad. Resultat: De tekniska begränsningarna är i huvudsak transport som styr storleken på volymen, samt skarvar som kopplar ihop dem. Anpassningen till dessa styrs av den projektspecifika budget som är satt. Dessa tenderar att vara orienterade efter lönsamhet snarare än hållbar arkitektur, och därmed blir den exteriöra utformningen ibland bortprioriterad. För att skapa volymhus av hög kvalitet som ger mervärde till sin omgivning, krävs en kollektiv förändring i branschen. Beställare och kommuner är nyckelaktörer och de som främst kan göra skillnad. Konsekvenser: De största utvecklingsmöjligheterna som kan ge förändring för framtiden är; konkurrens på marknaden genom ambitiösa beställare, fokus på process- och produktutveckling, högre kommunala krav samt nya tekniska lösningar som möjliggör för bättre lösningar till lägre pris. Begränsningar: Resultatet är avgränsat till exteriör utformning i volymhusbranschen, med avseende på flerbostadshus på den svenska marknaden. Studien är en övergripande analys och går inte ner på djupet för specifika problem, utan är snarare en vägledning till var problemområden finns.

Abstract:
Room module buildings have been the subject of extensive literature, but few buildings have actually been built. However, the numbers are now high enough to carry out an on-site analysis, in orde rto confirm or refute the expectations of fully or nearly fully prefabricated structures. lt was surprising that traditional or on-site foundations were used for this kind of highly industrialized building, instead of taking advantage of the benefits of prefabrication.In some cases, the fact that the foundations were not prefabricated led to problems that had an impact on the construction schedule, costs and quality of the entire building. lnformation was gathered on room modules housing buildings built in Catalonia constructed during or after 2008. lnformation was also gathered on prefabricated and semi-prefabricated foundations available on the market that could be implemented to these buildings. The person/s responsible in each building was asked why foundations were not prefabricated. Companies and others involved in the construction of foundations on-site, semi-prefabricated foundations and prefabricated foundations were also asked this question. Then, three foundations were selected to analyse the feasibility or not of precast foundations in room module buildings studing economic costs, the embodied energy and C02 equivalent emissions. lt was realised that the conclusions of the thesis were not only applicable to this specific type of building, but also to other prefabricated buildings. In Spain, basically a foundation is chosen because of its initial price.This vision of the work is partial. But if the vision were more general, considering all the items of the work even the expensive unforeseen events, its final quality-durability, to be on time, the accuracy and the environmental issues,the scale would tip in favour depending on the case. lt is important to have in mind that every foundation has an optimal application scope that makes it competitive. But it is true that there is not much variety of precast foundations systems for housing in Spain, there is a big misinformation about prefabricated foundations and semi-prefabricated foundations and a lack of acceptance, confidence and interest to use them that will be approached next.
La prefabricació tridimensional de viviendes ha sigut objecte de molta literatura i poques realitzacions. Per fi, s’han construït suficients edificis que poden ser analitzats sobre el terreny per confirmar o desmentir les expectatives dipositades en la prefabricació (quasi) integral. Observant aquests edificis sorprèn que els seus fonaments s’estiguin construint en gran part in situ, quan existeixen solucions prefabricades en el mercat. Inclús, en alguns casos, la no utilització dels fonaments prefabricats va afectar la temporització, els costos i la qualitat de tot l’edifici. En aquest treball es recullen alguns dels edificis modulars tridimensionals que s’han construït a Catalunya durant i després del 2008. I s’exposen les solucions disponibles de fonaments prefabricats i semi-prefabricats que existeixen en el mercat i que es podrien implementar en aquest tipus d’edifici. També s’ha preguntat als intervinents els motius perquè no es varen prefabricar els fonaments. A continuació, s’han seleccionat tres fonamentacions i s’ha analitzat la viabilitat dels fonaments prefabricats en els edificis tridimensionals de vivenda estudiant el seu cost econòmic, l’energia incorporada i les emissions de gasos d’efecte hivernacle en la seva construcció. Les conclusions d’aquest estudi no només són aplicables als edificis tridimensionals de vivenda sinó a tots els edificis prefabricats. A Espanya, normalment es tria un fonament pel seu preu inicial. Això correspon una visió reduïda de l’obra que no té en compte molts factors. Però que si es tingués una visió més general, que incorporés totes les partides de la construcció amb els costos extra, la qualitat-durabilitat, la temporització, la precisió i l’impacte medi ambiental, la balança es podria decantar a favor dels fonaments prefabricats depenent del cas. És important tenir en ment que cada fonament té el seu marc òptim d’aplicació que el fa competitiu. Però, també és cert que hi ha poca varietat de fonaments prefabricats a Espanya, que els intervinents estan desinformats sobre les possibilitats dels fonaments prefabricats o semi-prefabricats i que en molts casos no hi ha un interès o acceptació per utilitzar-los. Aquests i altres aspectes es tractaran en profunditat a continuació.

Las conclusiones de este estudio no sólo son aplicables a los edificios tridimensionales de vivienda sino a todos los edificios prefabricados. En España, la cimentaciones se escogen en la mayoría de los casos por su precio inicial. Esto es un punto de vista reducido que no tiene en cuenta todos los factores. Pero si se tuviera un cuenta una visión más general de la obra, en que se incluyeran todas la partidas de construcción con los costes extra, la cualidad-durabilidad, la temporización, la precisión y el impacto medio ambiental, la balanza se podría inclinar a favor de las cimentaciones prefabricadas dependiendo del caso. Es importante tener en mente que cada cimentación tiene un marco idóneo de aplicación que la hace competitiva. Sin embargo, es cierto que hay poca variedad de sistemas prefabricados de cimentación para vivienda en España, que los intervinientes están desinformados sobre las posibilidades de las cimentaciones prefabricadas o semi-prefabricadas y que en muchos casos no hay interés o aceptación para utilizarlas. Éstos y otros aspectos se profundizarán a continuación.

Abstract:
There has been significant increase in the occurrence of earthquakes and other disasters around the world recently. With record-breaking storms and natural disasters destroying different parts of the world, many people have to deal with the repercussions of the aftermaths; and homelessness is one of the facts of such incidence. This master thesis is aimed at creating living solution for the victims of earthquakes and other kind of disasters; natural or human-made (war), providing accommodation for homeless people after an earthquake or a housing alternative for refugees. The design of the collapsible home is basically a new concept of emergency hut for accommodating people in emergency after the event of disaster with easy assembling and quick installation feature. Considering the situation of homeless people after catastrophic disasters who need to be accommodated, the design and creation of a quick, accommodating and low-cost emergency hut is advantageous.  This project also provides a living service for both refugees and homeless people. It is low cost, modular, and easy to use. More than that it is feasible and it makes it possible to accommodate people for a longer period of time, rather than a very short temporary housing solution such as tents.
Det har skett en signifikant ökning av jordbävningar och andra katastrofer i världen. Med rekordstora stormar och naturkatastrofer som förstör i delar av världen måste många människor nu hantera efterverkningar och återuppbyggande, och hemlöshet är en av de faktorer som uppstår och som påverkar människor mest. Det här examensarbetet syftar till att skapa en boendelösning för offer för jordbävning och andra naturkatastrofer och krig. Det hopfällbara hemmets design är ett koncept för krisboende med enkelt montage och installering. Om man betänker den situation som människor hamnar i som blir hemlösa vid en katastrof, kan en design av en snabb och billig boendelösning som krisboende ge enormt mycket. Projektet kan också vara en boendeservice till flyktingar och människor som är hemlösa av andra anledningar än katastrofer. Det tillverkas för en låg kostnad och är möjlig att använda som modul och enkel att sätta upp. Men viktigare än det är att den ger möjlighet att härbergera människor under en längre tid till skillnad från mer temporära lösningar som exempelvis tält. Det hopfällbara hemmet är gjort av hållbart material, den använder grön energi och lyser upp staden. Den är utrustad med vertikala trädgårdar för att användarna ska kunna odla egna grönsaker och den återvinner vatten från regn. Den innehåller basala hopfällbara möbler och rumsavdelare som ger känsla av hemtrevnad och bekvämlighet.

Abstract:
Many municipalities are finding it difficult to fulfill the task of receiving new arrivals and provide them with a home. What at first may seem to be a fast and easy solution is in reality a short--‐term and expensive quick fix. The aim of the thesis is to identify and compare  the today known short--‐ and long--‐term strategies for municipalities to settle new arrivals in Sweden. The current housing crisis, in combination with the new law, "lag om mottagande av vissa nyanlanda invandrare for bosattning", means that many municipalities are finding it difficult to handle the situation that has now occurred with the large and rapid increase of new arrivals. The law means that Sweden's municipalities will now receive a distribution of the new arrivals in accordance with the law on the reception of certain newly arrived immigrants for settlement, also know as the "residence law". Through a study of the market has six housing solutions been selected and studied. In addition, we have chosen to study seven different municipalities and management strategies when it comes to settlement, and those that have public housing; Botkyrka, Upplands Vasby, Huddinge and Stockholm, and those that do not have any public housing; Danderyd Taby and Nacka. To calculate and discuss the different  ccommodation solutions has five parameters been valued; initial investment, possible rent setting, timing, sustainability, durability and how it affects a declining housing shortage. Based on the parameters it was shown that "kombohus" was the main option, and buying and renting modular housing was the weakest option. Important parameters for assessing the municipality's work and strategies was how work is organized and coordinated, how they plan in a long term and how far they have come with a work in progress. The conclusion is that there is not a specific housing solution that can solve the housing problem for new arrivals. It is important for each municipality to have a combination of options to solve this puzzle.

The thesis is trying to create a neighborhood that would serve not only to the needs of the millennials, but of every generation. It is trying to build a city for the people. I am designing the new development as a lively, diverse and flexible neighborhood which considers the history of the area. I am conserving its rectangular shape in the urban footprint. I am designing a city with clearly defined public spaces. I am opening the neighborhood to the public and therefor allow it to newly connect with neighboring districts. The goal of the design is to create a modern neighborhood that will function as a new subcenter of the city of Brno.

Abstract:

The ANC government came to power in 1994 and has had to come to grips with many economic, social and political challenges it inherited from the apartheid regime. A majority of the people were marginalized and subjected to poor standards of living in areas that were inadequately provided for in terms of basic services. One of the biggest challenges the new government is facing is the delivery of services especially housing. Poor policy implementation continues to complicate the existing problems. The study critically examined the extent to which poor policy implementation has affected the provision of housing in Khayelitsha with focus on the respective stakeholders.

Although houses have been build in certain areas of Khayelitsha , there is a slow delivery and there is a lack of public involvement in housing programme to decide about the future of the community. In order for any development to be sustainable it must be driven by affected people with a sense of ownership being engendered to them. This holistic approach for housing development is in line up with the current government policy on the matter.

Este documento surge por la aparición de una vivienda social inadecuada en Ica, por no responder al estilo de vida del usuario y por no entender su desarrollo económico en el tiempo. El estado a través de la empresa privada busca solucionar la demanda existente de vivienda presentando una estandarización de módulos de vivienda para agilizar su construcción, y llegar a las metas establecidas. Se entregan módulos básicos construidos con la opción de expandirlos a través del tiempo, sin embargo, los módulos entregados no suelen entender el contexto inmediato donde se emplazan y tampoco comprenden el estilo de vida de las familias causando una inversión adicional a pesar de poder expandirlos en el tiempo, porque los residentes al expandirlos, tratan de moldear estos módulos con su identidad probando soluciones informales y a veces arriesgadas, demostrando el desinterés del estado y la empresa privada por la realidad del usuario y su desarrollo económico. Esta investigación se hizo para demostrar la importancia de entender al ser humano, para comprender su realidad, y para precisar que el arquitecto tiene un rol social importante en mejorar la vida de las personas.
This document arises from the appearance of inadequate social housing in Ica, for not responding to the user's lifestyle and for not understanding their economic development over time. The state, through private companies, seeks to solve the existing demand for housing by presenting a standardization of housing modules to speed up their construction and reach the established goals. Basic modules built with the option of expanding them over time are delivered, however, the modules delivered do not usually understand the immediate context where they are located nor do they understand the lifestyle of families causing an additional investment despite being able to expand them in over time, because residents, by expanding them, try to mold these modules with their identity, testing informal and sometimes risky solutions, demonstrating the disinterest of the state and private companies for the reality of the user and their economic development. This research was done to demonstrate the importance of understanding the human being, to understand his reality, and to specify that the architect has an important social role in improving people's lives.
