Précis
The thesis proposes buildings that are designed to evolve by using special systems of prefabricated parts, which will allow quick flexibility of the building to occur while having minimal impact on the surrounding area. Buildings like these can adapt to changing programmatic needs allowing for the building to remain useful and achieve a greater level of sustainability. Some good examples of this kind of architecture are the IGUS factory in Cologne, Germany, The C&B Engineering department in Loughborough University, England, and the Sainsbury Center for the Visual Arts in Norwich, England. The thesis is aiming to inspire architects to design buildings that can accommodate changes more efficiently by using more prefabricated elements in their construction.
Hypothesis
The thesis proposes that buildings can be evolutionary in their ability to quickly accommodate needed programmatic and form changes if they are constructed with a more comprehensive system of prefabricated parts.
