OFF-SITE MANUFACTURING FOR A NEW MODULAR WOODEN ARCHITECTURE MADE IN ITALY

The industrial development project “SU.PRE.MO – from Super X-Lam To Prefabrication and 2D/3D Modularity”, organised with the support of the Provincia Autonoma di Trento, focused on modular homes for self-build and emergency situations, using the prefabricated CLT products of the Trento-based company. XLAM Dolomiti was the project leader. This paper describes the design activities relating to the modular house kits designed in versions from 20 m2 to 100 m2 by the Polytechnic University of Turin, in cooperation with XLAM Dolomiti. A combination of off-site manufacturing and the standard products of XLAM Dolomiti was used to produce a digital catalogue of the various building concepts with a number of possible configurations for the modular homes.
