Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional top-down real estate production methods are used, then regulatory compliance and risk control are improved, but customization and adaptability to diverse user demands deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The building is divided into a modular geometric capable frame with standardized elementary units, allowing the structure to be segmented into reusable components while maintaining overall regulatory compliance. This segmentation enables flexible reconfiguration to meet diverse user demands without compromising the standardized framework.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from static, predetermined real estate offerings to dynamic, user-configurable volume arrangements. Buyers can define custom geometries and positions for real estate volumes within the standardized frame, allowing the system to adapt to changing demands while maintaining structural and regulatory integrity.
2Device complexity
If standardized real estate offerings are produced, then manufacturing complexity and risk are reduced, but product diversity and user satisfaction deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The geometric capable frame serves as a universal standardized structure that can accommodate multiple different real estate volume configurations. The same elementary units and framing system can support diverse building types, floor plans, and volume arrangements, enabling product diversity without increasing production complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
While the overall building parameters (frame dimensions, elementary unit sizes) remain standardized, the system allows parameter changes at the volume level through user-defined geometries and positions. This enables product diversity in terms of internal configuration while maintaining standardized external parameters for construction.
3Reliability
If old real estate is renovated to meet standards, then energy performance and accessibility are improved, but costs and implementation uncertainty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary standardization by pre-defining the geometric capable frame and elementary units before actual construction or renovation. This preliminary action establishes clear parameters and constraints that guide subsequent volume positioning and configuration, reducing implementation uncertainty and making cost estimation more predictable.
