Abstract

The paper aims at explaining what modular coordination is and the computational principles, which would be used when making a modular coordination program for architecture projects. This is done keeping in mind open prefabrication for the massive construction of social housing. Chapters three and four are devoted to the explanation of what modular coordination is and the principles used in the computational language, chapter five presents our architectonic reality as regards open prefabrication, as well as the national importance such a program has, which is closely related to CAD programs.
