    Abstract

    When speaking about the future demands for industrialized architecture – or how to translate industrialized processes into tectonic sustainable design strategies in architecture – several questions come to mind.
    First of all, why is the building industry in comparison to the production industry of consumer goods, apparently developing slowly in terms of incorporating new technologies, products and practices? Secondly, which general obstacles can be identified – and finally what are the potentials that seem to be embedded in knowledge production of related industries and professions?

    Although these questions raise a wide-spread discussion, one could argue that the building industry can benefit from different ways of architectural synthesis thinking as a basis for improving. This understood in such a way that industrialized manufacturing technologies and products should be driven by ideas and innovation, which enrich and improve the building designs – the architecture – both in terms of customization, adaptability, sustainable solutions and aesthetics
