What is Mass Production (MP)

This chapter includes the second phase of the Re-Coding Homes Project, which has been conducted as a TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) research project with the title “A User-Centered Model Research Towards a Flexible Interior Spatial Design for Mass Housing Units: Urban Renewal Housing.” In this phase, which will be presented in this chapter, the design model and an expert system have been developed with the aim of improving the interior spaces of mass housing projects in accordance with different user needs and providing solutions that will increase the flexibility of apartment interiors. The expert system that can operate the flexible modular system proposed in the housing units has made it possible to achieve a large number of spatial variations by means of “multi-parameter layout design.” “Mass-customization” approach was used in order to generate satisfactory results for users' spatial needs and life styles.
