Summary
This podcast explores the latest trends in modular construction and prefabrication, highlighting innovative projects that are reshaping residential and transportation infrastructure. Featured are:
1. Residential construction, focusing on efficient, repeatable designs like Resia's "module construction" that uses standardized components for rapid building1. Also covered are Assembly OSM's high-tech approach to modular builds using methods similar to car manufacturing and Vessel Technologies' product-based approach that emphasizes continuous improvement and simplicity.
2. New York City's first modular public restroom designed by 1100 Architect, which addresses the city's need for more public facilities through cost-effective and rapidly deployable modular solutions.
3. Airport expansions at LAX and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where prefabrication and modular construction are utilized to minimize disruptions, shorten project timelines, and improve safety.
