Yikang YanWith the advancement of building industrialization and sustainable development, modular demountable buildings, as an efficient and environmentally friendly form, show significant potential in scenarios such as emergency housing and rural construction. However, they face issues including insufficient component adaptability, low demounting efficiency, and low integration level. Based on the Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) theory, this paper proposes solutions and takes M-Box1.0 as a case study to explore design strategies from four dimensions: product modularization, logistics optimization, rationality of demounting, and component integration. The results show that M-Box1.0 has excellent ventilation and lighting performance. Compared with similar products on the market, it has fewer parts and lower costs. Moreover, it reduces construction waste through prefabrication and demountable connections. This study clarifies the advantages of DFMA-oriented design and has practical significance for promoting the efficient and energy-saving development of building industrialization.

Zhaksylykova LeilaIn recent years, a slow change towards prefabrication has been observed in the construction sector. An increasing amount of construction work is done off site. The benefits of such arrangements are noted, as it results in the construction of better-quality buildings and can lead to lowering a project’s overall carbon footprint. These changes concern every stage of construction and nearly every material solution, including external walls made from concrete panels. The objective of this study was to develop and present a classification of concrete prefabricated elements in terms of their structural properties and to determine which of these elements are most often used in the design of housing. The study found that structural sandwich elements and cladding panels were among the most popular technologies.

Yifan meng JingThe article deals with the issue of symbolism in contemporary architecture with facades made of precast concrete elements. The aim of the study was to demonstrate that such facades, beyond their structural and aesthetic roles, can also serve as a medium of communication, referring to the history of a place, local traditions, or the architect’s design intent. An analysis of more than 100 buildings was conducted on the basis of literature, project documentation, statements by architects and critics, as well as case studies. The findings identify four main methods of embedding symbolism: through the overall form of the building, the design of precast elements, the relief and tectonics of surfaces, and the structural system itself. The conclusions confirm that contemporary prefabrication is no longer limited to repetition and standardization but has become a tool of architectural narration, in which facades function as a system of signs, culturally and emotionally legible to the observer.
About Me
A graduate of the Faculty of Architecture (FoA) at the Krakow University of Technology (CUT). He completed postgraduate studies in Conservation, Architecture Design, and Interior Design of Sacred Buildings. In 2013, he completed the Pedagogical Studies for Academic Teachers, obtaining pedagogical preparation for teaching at a university. In 2009-2017, he worked at the FoA at the Institute of Building Design as a research and teaching assistant. Since 2017, he has been working as a research and teaching assistant with a PhD degree. He teaches at the first and second cycle of studies and at the Doctoral School. Since 2021, he has been teaching at the International School of Engineering (ISE), - cooperation between three universities: the Krakow University of Technology, the Białystok University of Technology, and Tianjin Chengjian University in China. he conducts scientific and research work on the possibilities offered by prefabricated concrete facade elements in shaping the aesthetic expression of architecture. His design achievements include co-authorship of several buildings and residential and public interiors.
