Modularity and flexibility in architecture : a prototype for emergency situations in developing countries

This paper study Mozambique as the background, first research is climate design and disaster prevention policy school design in Mozambique. And then from different developing countries perspective, choose some typical cases of school building develop status, policies, etc., to study the advantages of school design, and how they solve some thorny problems. The focus is on the importance of modular design for the developing countries. There are two cases of a typical modular school design in two developing countries, extending to the idea of modular design in Mozambique. Modular design emphasis on total re-engineering of building materials, their manufacturing processes, construction and operation requires redesign, waste reduction and transformation into energy producing products and building. A sustainable future of architecture demands research into renewable, adaptive, recyclable and environmental building components. One of the primary intentions of revisiting modular building systems is to explore the past, discover possible patterns and solutions and reconsider what might be missing.
