Construction projects often require the design, construction and use of temporary structures to provide access or protection to workers or the public, to protect adjacent structures or to support temporary loads during construction.
Examples of temporary structures include excavation support systems, shoring, scaffolding, shoring, formwork, road decking, roof protection, and on-site contractor facilities.
Usually, project owners and developers, along with their design team, do not need to be particularly concerned with temporary structures.
As it is just the Contractor’s “means and methods” and is the sole responsibility of the Contractor. but,
Typically, a temporary structure is designed by or for the contractor using it, based on project needs and design criteria,
Which may include a set of local or national codes, project specifications, contractor’s preferred means and methods, and project specifications.
The selection and effective implementation of temporary structures can be the difference between winning or losing a bid or completing a project with a profit or loss.
The contractor therefore has to balance cost, performance, safety and schedule implications and the reliability of their temporary structures.
Solutions using flexible and renewable materials
The term “flexibility” is defined by unrestricted free range of motion, or any feature or appearance that is subject to change.
The concept of flexible architecture has been proposed in contrast to “fit-functionality”.
Flexible architecture is meant to be movable, multipurpose, and malleable, and can also be seen as modular design on a larger scale.
The main idea of flexible architecture is that the built environment should function due to living organisms, and be able to respond to changes in their surroundings.
Flexible housing
Housing is the basic need of society and it needs to adapt to the changing environment as well, and flexible housing can be one of the best solutions to the problem of overpopulation.
Buildings must accommodate new rental patterns that were not a neighborhood at the time of construction, planning solutions range widely across three levels of flexibility – the ability to re-size
By switching partitions and walls, readjusting by rearranging furniture, and reinterpreting through dynamic zone composition.
Adaptable buildings
Being incredibly flexible, humans try to adapt,
embrace and elongate spaces so that their buildings are adaptable.
People can change buildings in their own way,
so that the period of use generates a unique essence of place necessary for the existence of the existing architecture.
These buildings are often defined by their open floor plans and class-free design.
Portable architectural buildings
The Loftcube house by Werner Aisslinger is one of the best examples of portable architecture,
which uses the latest technology and materials combined with artistic and experimental methods.
The idea behind Loftcube was to provide a temporary and minimalistic housing unit,
which could be suitable for a specific group of people.
