The case studies refer to the hospitality and student living sector. The author addresses the following question regarding the near future of the modular construction industry: How would it reflect on urban space, living space and the whole attitude toward modular construction issues? What is the role of the architect during the design-build process? Is it possible to make references to “beauty” in a modular construction context?}, doi = {10.4467/25438700SM.18.079.9995}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/srodowisko-mieszkaniowe/article/smarter-way-to-build-volumetric-modular-construction-system} }
