Modern modular design is rooted in . Unlike traditional methods where design is finalized before contractors are engaged, modular success requires early collaboration between architects and manufacturers to ensure every module is optimized for factory production.
Design in Modular Construction: A 2026 Perspective In 2026, design in modular construction has shifted from "boxed-in" limitations to a sophisticated, manufacturing-driven discipline. By treating buildings as assemblies of precision-engineered units, designers are achieving architectural quality that rivals—and often exceeds—traditional on-site methods.
