Diseño de un sistema modular usando elementos prefabricados aplicados a vivienda y comercio a pequeña escala

Abstract

The architecture of residential and commercial use answers the needs of "permanence" and "transit" of man. Within the development of the human being we have seen that the construction has become a subject for experimentation and study towards the development of new techniques and methods that lead to a better use of resources. Within this research subject arises prefabrication compared to conventional construction. To achieve a system that includes the use of prefabricated elements, the main objective of this paper grade, it is necessary to study the module, understood as an integrator of the parts of a work, guided to form functional relationships, technical and aesthetic of the project. These two concepts are combined to introduce and integrate the activities of the work by the coordination of modular and dimensional elements.

As reference we include: analysis of 3 works where the prefabricated elements become regulators of space, the analysis of prefabricated materials to establish through their characteristics the module design, starting point for the development of the modular system and analysis of architectural spaces to develop a proposal that meets the space needs required.

In developing the modular system, which involves the use of prefabricated elements, we achieve through modular and dimensional coordination that the project reaches a level of almost complete prefabrication, besides to complying with a customizable architectural program thanks to the progressive growth of modules and versatility of spaces.
