Abstract: (218 Views) |
Rapid urbanization and the rising demand for housing in growing cities, together with resource constraints, high construction costs, and lengthy implementation processes, have posed serious challenges to urban housing provision systems. These conditions have further highlighted the necessity of adopting industrialized and integrated approaches to housing production. Within this context, the present study aims to develop an efficient model to address part of this challenge through the advancement of a modular system based on a dense steel space frame, capable of balancing structural efficiency, environmental sustainability, and spatial flexibility. The research adopts a design-oriented approach and is based on a combination of literature review, case study analysis, and the development of the proposed system model in the CATIA environment. In this process, the integrated design of architecture, structure, and building services was carried out in CATIA in order to strengthen coordination across the stages of design, production, and construction. Lightweight modular steel components with detachable bolted connections were designed to enable factory production, ease of transportation, and rapid on-site assembly. In addition, the use of lightweight and recyclable materials in the building envelope contributes to improved energy performance and thermal comfort. The findings indicate that the integration of digital design, industrialized construction, and modular systems can provide a practical framework for accelerating housing production, enhancing spatial adaptability, and supporting incremental development in growing cities, while also serving as a supportive model for housing provision policies and sustainable urban development.
