What is Configurable Modules

Although the expert system is vital for the research project Re-Coding Homes, it mainly deals with the layout, density, and relations of modules and represents them only as raw cubic geometries. Parallel to the studies of the expert system, during the Design Workshop, the design team worked on developing the components of the modular system. All modules fit in the 3D grid defined in the expert system and have similar codes so that they can come together within different configurations. Throughout the Design Workshop all these interior modules are concretized using a laser cut and real materials in the ITU Model Lab. The main objective of this chapter is to exemplify a design process run in relation with an expert system that generates solutions related to user needs.
