1. Introduction
2. The context
2.2 The
established and the "holistic" approach
2.3 The paradigm
of the living world and the theoretical framework of the "complex dynamic
systems"
2.4 The
"integrated building systems" considered as methods of wide
applicability
2.5 The
"holistic" approach at the level of producers' organization
3 Features of
integrated building systems
- High variability in the design of the built space
- Maintenance of high variability in different scales
- Integration of different systems of the building
- Developmental production procedures based on information
reusability
- Reduction of the social cost of the building project
- Reduction of the consumption of both material and energy
resources
- Versatility of the built space
- Exploitation of the potential of available production technology
- Possibility of high-quality architectural space production
