Industrialized housing

Industrialized construction system with low environmental impact

This project is carried out within the research area, with the idea of analyzing the correct implementation of the main trends and singularities of the industrialization processes of the building industry in developed countries, particularly medium-rise wood buildings. The growing process of high-rise densification that is occurring in most urban centers around the world and the negative impact this has had in environmental terms, allows the study to address the building from a constructive, technological and materiality paradigm change, encouraging the real estate industry to generate a move towards a more sustainable production. This research will guide a strategic and conceptual systematic analysis that will allow to give added value to the industrial housing product, through concrete operations applied to a construction system, with wood as the predominant material. The research concentrates on construction, focusing mainly on constructive and production aspects, discarding architectural spaces or other variables that could be associated to the studied topic.

The invitation to the reader is to think of an industrially produced architecture, which represents a new way of looking at what already exists, generating a more active bridge of use between the present and future construction industry, in order to create architecture linked to time, efficiency, sustainability, place and cultural context.
