Construction systems minimized to a few identical elements have been essential for architects to efficiently build, dismantle, and modify structures. Examples include nomadic architecture, the Crystal Palace designed by John Paxton for the 1851 London World’s Fair, and modern construction systems in steel, concrete, and wood from the 19th and 20th centuries. As digital planning and production methods advance, modular precast construction systems—adaptable for various combinations and compatible with one another—are set to play a crucial role in future architecture. The volume Components and Systems provides a comprehensive and organized overview of various precast building components, covering semifinished products, component-based construction, open and closed systems, as well as skeleton and panel construction, and spatial cell constructions. Accompanying detailed drawings and color photographs enhance the understanding of these systems. Additionally, discussions on the transportation and assembly of these systems complete the exploration of the topic, making this book an essential practical guide for architects and builders.
