Includes bibliographical references (p. 62-64). This thesis subject is a pre-fabricated element (cell): a system that employs natural, light, and economic materials to produce a near-finished portion of a building. The intent is to introduce sustainable design into construction industry through prefabrication. The cell has been envisioned both for permanent and temporary usage: in the former case, preeminently as a construction element, while in the latter, as a finished unit. In both cases, the cell is mainly an assembly of smaller components that can possibly be recycled and reused after dismantling without additional reprocessing. The main idea behind the cell is to employ simple and small elements to achieve sustainable design. by Laura Govoni Bachelder.
