Brown Bag Roundtable: Modular Architecture

Modular and prefabricated construction have long been of theoretical interest to architects. The recent interest and growth of supporting industries and the recent construction of substantial modular buildings in the US and abroad likely means this method of construction is reaching a tipping point in implementation.At the National AIA level, on the new AIAKnowledgeNet, The Modular and Prefabricated Architecture Group has been established to provide a central location where architects and allied professionals can share, learn and push the state of the art of off-site construction to new architectural levels.

AIA San Diego invites you to join other peers interested in this topic at a local Brown-Bag Roundtable.There is no need to RSVP. This is a free, member-only, bring-your-own-brown-bag event. If you would like to order a sandwich or salad in advance for pickup, there are two great café’s downstairs in the building.  

Q: What do the Marmol-Radziner Desert House, the Sunset Breeze House, the WIRED Livinghome and High Tech High all have in common?

A: They are all modular and they were all engineered by the modular experts RS Tavares Associates!

Come hear Ralph Tavares, PE share his insights into these and other special modular buildings at the next Brown Bag Roundtable on Modular Architecture.
