Open and Industrialised Building

There is clearly potential for the industrial production of oepn buildings - namely buildings where the parts which makeup the whole are designed to allow a high degree freedom for layout, construction and adaptation. Industrialised open building has the potential to radically cut building costs and construction time. The book focusses on product and production systematics and information systematics, and begins with an extensive survey of the field by the editor. The second part consists of a series of descriptions of the experience of different countries, and chapters on particular themes. The book presents new material developed from Commission W24 of the CIB (the International Council for Building Research Studies and Documentation).
