Interactive Procedural Design Exploration for Modular Structures
… that are constructed as aggregations of modular units. Using modular units as a building system can be more efficient for construction and potentially high performing structurally. Most of modular structures today are built in simple stacks which clearly advantages construction efficiency …

A house for a boat
… to develop an architectural series of modular units. It is my position that information regarding site and program are unnecessary when beginning an architectural project. This is clearly demonstrated through my process. In the beginning, these units were developed independently of any …

Modularity of signaling cycle architectures
… cycles with respect to two properties: modularity, that is the ability to be treated as separate functional units irrespective of interconnections, and insulation, the ability to attenuate the effect of retroactivity applied by downstream systems and hence facilitate modular design in …

Transience and Permanence: An Architectural Dialogue
… approach is to explore a composite system, where modular prefabricated architecture is implemented in conjunction with traditional building practices. The idea is to address the transient nature and sense of belonging by combining the prefabricated modular approach with the site-built traditional …

Modular Manufacture and Construction of Small Nuclear Power Generation Systems
… costs, making them difficult to finance. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are nuclear reactors smaller than 300 MWe and claim to leverage manufacturing principles and modular build to resolve these issues and help improve the competitiveness of nuclear power. This project investigates modular build …
