11	Systems flexibility and user choice in the housing process Skubel, Stewart Anthony January 1982 (has links) The implementation of a flexible housing system relies upon a synthesis of many factors. Of these, the relationships between society, technology, and economics are fundamental. For a flexible housing concept to be successful, it must necessarily respond to the inevitability of social and technological change, while also being an affordable alternative to the escalating costs of conventional housing. This thesis explores the issues, components, and planning strategies essential to the development of an industrialized system which can, in turn, respond to changing user needs over time. / Master of Architecture LD5655.V855 1982.S593 Industrialized building
12	An assessment of the potential of the United States stick-built house for self-help construction Takase, Yutaka January 1981 (has links) Thesis (M.S.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1981. / MICROFICHE COPY AVAILABLE IN ARCHIVES AND ROTCH. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 122-124). / This thesis initially focuses on the development of the U.S. stick-built house. The material and construction methods of the structure remain simple and unchanged, whereas the non-structural elements offer an enormous variety of choices in materials and components as a result of the improvements in technology . In Chapter 2, a case study of the U.S. system suggests that the stick-built house has a great potential for self-help construction, with least subcontracting, rental of some special tools and equipment and the use of prefabricated materials. A comparison of the U.S. and Japanese systems shows that the Japanese system offers lesser potential for self-help . On the average, higher skills would be required in on-site assembly. Difficulties would occur in using members of different sizes and joining methods. Also, there would be less flexibility in future change of housing design. The author recommends greater simplification of structural members for production and construction methods in Japan. / by Yutaka Takase. / M.S. Architecture.
