Collaborative Research: An Integrated Interior Infill System for Mass Customized HousingAbstractIn the future, homes will contain the most complex activities of any building type. With the aging of thebaby boomers, homes must become centers for proactive healthcare, distributed energy production, work,commerce, learning, etc. Homes must become agile environments that accommodate rapidly changingneeds, activities, and technologies. They must respond to demands of sophisticated, affluent babyboomer generation who want choice and tailored solutions that closely reflect their values and needs. Butplaces of living are poorly prepared for this future. Most new apartments are generic, low-grade, low-tech,inflexible, disruptive to upgrade, high maintenance, and ill-designed. Architects and engineers play nosignificant role in the creation of places of living, except at the very high end of the market. Most housingresearch is focused on cost reduction - not on preparing places of living to meet new requirements in thefuture.The objective of this research project is to conceptualize and assess the viability of a new approach that that may result in high-value, customized, reconfigurable, adaptable, multifamily housing. The three coordinated thrusts are as follows.1) The development of design concepts for the use of prefabricated, volumetric module ioshellslc of adimension that can be efficiently and affordable shipped to the jobsite, combined with the applicationof a mass customized cabinetry-like integrated interior infill (I 3 ) system for apartment fit-out. Modularconstruction is the fastest growing segment of the housing market, but its potential is limited by anarrow range of design possibilities, its failure to take advantage of modern manufacturingtechnologies, and the labor intensive operations required to connect modules at the site. Thisresearch will employ modular construction for what it is most suited for - structural shells with buildingservices that can be rapidly assembled. 2) The development of concepts for automated, web-based, consumer design tools based onparametrically defined I 3 components. This effort will take advantage of prior work developed at MITand in industry for user customization of apartment design and cabinetry.3) The development and testing of an I 3 production methodology. The following issues will beinvestigated: Can an I 3 system allow mass-customized components to be manufactured efficiently andwith the same quality as identical mass-produced units? Can the controlled and precise fabrication ofintegrated components allow new materials such as advanced polymers, composites, and special-purpose metals to find their way into the home? Can delicate electronics and devices be more easilyintegrated into I 3 components than with conventional construction? Can parallel manufacturing of themodular shell and interior components reduce production cycle time?In summary, this research will give the homebuilding supply chain, suppliers, factory producers, andbuilders a vision of the future - and an approach to the design tools and lean production systems that canmake that vision a reality. The research will attempt to leap beyond incremental improvements in theconventional process, to an agile and adaptable system of mass-customization using technologiesprocesses that could be put into effect in the near term. The research will also have important academicimpacts. It will provide two Masters thesis topics and multi-disciplinary research experiences for twoundergraduate research assistants. The class project in EIN 3314 Work Measurement and Design,involving lean manufacturing in local industry, will provide valuable, team-based, real world learningexperiences for about 30 undergraduate engineering students.

协作研究：一种用于大规模定制住房吸引素的综合室内填充系统，未来，房屋将包含任何建筑物类型中最复杂的活动。随着宝贝潮一代的衰老，房屋必须成为积极的医疗保健，分布式能源生产，工作，商业，学习等的中心。房屋必须成为敏捷的环境，以适应迅速改变的needs，活动和技术。他们必须响应复杂的，富裕的婴儿潮一代的需求，他们想要选择和量身定制的解决方案，这些解决方案紧密反映其价值和需求。生活的范围为这一未来做好了不好的准备。大多数新公寓都是通用的，低级的，低技术，僵化的，颠覆性的，可升级，高维护和设计不良。建筑师和工程师在创建生活场所中发挥了重要的作用，除了市场的高端。大多数住房研究都集中在降低成本上 - 并非准备在现场满足新要求的生活场所。该研究项目的目的是概念化和评估一种新方法的可行性，该方法可能导致高价值，自定义，可重新配置，适应性，适应性，可适应性，多样化的住房。这三个协调的推力如下。1）设计概念的开发，用于使用预制的，体积的模块ioshellslc of Adimension of Adimension，可以有效且负担得起的运送到工作现场，并与大规模定制的橱柜式集成式内部嵌入式系统（I 3）系统相结合，用于公寓式装修。模块化构建是房屋市场中增长最快的部分，但其潜力受到Anarrow范围的设计可能性的限制，其未能利用现代制造技术以及连接现场模块所需的劳动密集型操作。本研究将采用模块化结构，最适合 - 结构外壳，并具有可以迅速组装的建筑物服务。 2）开发基于播放的自动化，基于网络的消费者设计工具的概念，该工具基于播放定义的I 3个组件。这项工作将利用Mitand在行业中开发的先前工作，用于用户定制公寓设计和橱柜。3）I 3生产方法的开发和测试。以下问题将被评估：I 3系统能否有效地制造质量量化的组件，并且与相同的质量生产单元相同的质量？整合成分的受控和精确制造是否可以允许新材料，例如高级聚合物，复合材料和特殊用途金属，以找到​​他们进入家中的方式？与传统结构相比，精致的电子设备和设备可以更容易地整合到I 3个组件中吗？平行制造壳外壳和内部组件可以缩短生产周期吗？总而言之，这项研究将使房屋建设供应链，供应商，工厂生产商和建筑商对未来的愿景，以及对设计工具和精益生产系统的方法，从而使能够愿景的现实构成现实。这项研究将尝试超越惯例过程的增量改进，再到使用TechnologiesProcesses的敏捷且适应性的大规模燃烧系统，这些系统可以在短期内生效。该研究还将具有重要的学术影响力。它将为Twoundergradeute研究助理提供两个硕士论文主题和多学科研究经验。 EIN 3314的班级项目涉及本地行业精益制造业的工作测量和设计，将为大约30名本科工程专业的学生提供宝贵的，基于团队的现实世界学习经验。
