System construction
The system construction is a construction method in which the buildings from prefabricated components or modules is assembled. The components are manufactured in a factory , then transported to the construction site and assembled according to the modular principle.
The advantages of system construction are a relatively short construction time , independence from the weather during the prefabrication phase, high precision of the components, which are often manufactured in series, and the possibility of subsequently relocating the finished building .
An example of the successful application of system construction is the Christ Pavilion , a glass and steel construction by the architect Meinhard von Gerkan , which was built by the Protestant and Catholic Church at the Expo 2000 in Hanover. In 2001 it was rebuilt in the Volkenroda monastery .
