    Abstract

    How can contemporary industrialized production meet the requirements of a growing complexity and dynamism in a global society?

    In a society affected by globalization and the never-ending flow of information, the need for artefacts to reinforce the identity of organizations and individuals is growing. The mission of architecture is then to form a framework of identity for the particular function or individual, a framework capable of distinguishing the function / the individual from one another and from the surrounding society. Industrial production within the construction business is therefore met with increasing demands for individual solutions. The question then is how this challenge is met in the best way by industrialized production, technologically (products/solutions) as well as theoretically (conceptual approach)
