Korea Iron & Steel Association Publishes Specialized Book on Modular Construction

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] The Modular Architecture Committee under the Steel Structure Center of the Korea Iron & Steel Association has released a textbook on modular architecture that encompasses comprehensive theories and practical experiences.

On the 31st, the Korea Iron & Steel Association announced the publication of "Understanding Modular Architecture - Design, Fabrication, and Construction Guide for Modular Architecture" to address challenges in market expansion caused by a lack of technical data and experienced designers in modular architecture.

"Understanding Modular Architecture" is composed of a total of 23 topics. Specifically, it includes 16 chapters covering ▲ modular architecture systems and ordering systems ▲ domestic modular architecture business models and development directions related to modular regulations ▲ construction of modular architecture ▲ and technologies throughout the entire modular architecture process such as insulation, soundproofing, and fire resistance.

Professor Cho Bong-ho of Ajou University (Advisory Chairman of the Modular Architecture Committee), who led the writing, stated, "We will actively utilize this textbook to train experts related to modular architecture." In fact, Professor Cho plans to use this textbook as teaching material for a newly established modular architecture course he has been lecturing since last year.

The association expects this book to become the bible of domestic modular architecture educational materials, as it is the first publication to include not only regulations and policies related to modular architecture but also technical content covering the entire process from design to fabrication and construction.

Meanwhile, the Steel Structure Center of the Korea Iron & Steel Association established the "Modular Architecture Committee" in July 2019 and has been striving to enhance the market competitiveness of domestic modular construction methods and promote modular architecture through support in system/standard improvements, technology, education, and publicity.

The book "Understanding Modular Architecture" is available for purchase at online and offline bookstores nationwide.
