Type construction
As Every system works is known buildings which according to the same design and using the same planning multiple or even in series in an almost identical version will be installed at different sites. Structural systems of this type are often given a type approval .
The advantage of the type construction is the saving of planning costs and the easier supervision of the construction . Typing can also simplify interior design and maintenance . The typification of buildings can also be described as an approach to technical standardization and often includes the industrial series production of individual components or entire components (see precast construction ). A disadvantage of typing is the lack of individuality , which is why no type buildings are possible for most building tasks . Typing reaches its limits when individual requirements regarding location , height, use , statics , etc. are placed on the buildings to be carried out. In these cases, it is usually not possible to erect a fully standardized structure. However, it is possible and also customary to implement the said building as a type construction as far as technically possible. Several standardized variants adapted to the purpose are also conceivable, which do not necessarily have to look different (example: C2 and C3 masts of the north-south pipeline , which both look the same, but are designed for different ice loads by choosing the support profiles). It is also not uncommon, especially in the case of tower structures, the most favorable form of which is dictated by the use and physics, to base the design of individual constructions heavily on the design of typified constructions (example: the Koblenz telecommunications tower is very similar to a type tower, but is not a type tower). For this reason it is not always possible to infer from the appearance of a building alone whether it is a type construction or not. It is difficult to draw the line between a single building and a type building if there is only one type of building or if it cannot be guaranteed whether other similar buildings exist or existed. The best known type buildings are certainly the GDR prefabricated buildings of the WBS70 type. (WBS = housing system) and similar West German housing systems as well as standardized train stations in the Netherlands. Prefabricated houses are also type buildings by nature.
The Enercon E-126 wind turbine is the tallest type of structure to date .
Evaluation of type buildings according to HOAI
The evaluation of type buildings according to HOAI is essentially based on § 15 (service phases) and §22 (order for several buildings).
§ 22 HOAI says: (2) If an order comprises several identical, mirror-image or essentially similar buildings that are to be erected in a temporal or spatial context and under the same structural conditions, or buildings according to type planning or series constructions, then 1. to 4th repetition to reduce the percentages of work phases 1 to 7 in § 15 by 50 percent, from the 5th repetition onwards by 60 percent. Buildings that are built according to the same design are considered the same. Buildings that are built to an essentially identical design are considered to be series constructions.

Residential buildings
- Germany / West Germany:
- Many settlement houses in small settlement areas (from around 1920 to the 1950s; in Schleswig-Holstein until the 1990s) or as part of settler communities . They are not prefabricated houses and are usually built using conventional methods.
- The buildings of the ERP program “10,000 refugee apartments” in Schleswig-Holstein
- The most extensive sample floor plan and type house program in West Germany by the Working Group for Contemporary Construction from 1946 to 1996
- Prefabricated buildings in the former Soviet Union:
-
Prefabricated buildings in the GDR:
- P2 (panel type)
- PH 16
- Q3A
- Q6 (block construction)
- WBS 70
- WHH GT 18
- Dymaxion house by Richard Buckminster Fuller (only two prototypes realized)
- Unité d'Habitation by Le Corbusier
Sacred buildings
- After the Second World War, built emergency churches , designed by Otto Bartning
Overhead line masts
- C1 mast of the north-south line
- C2 / C3 mast of the north-south line
- Corolle (overhead line mast for high voltage lines made of laminated wood)
Other buildings and engineering structures
- Type schools, kindergartens and gyms in the newly built areas of the GDR
- Data centers in universities of the former GDR of the "Weimar" type
- Burger King and McDonald's restaurants
- Buildings for discount grocery stores / supermarkets
- Type tower
- 3803 KM (transmission tower in the former Soviet Union)
- 30107 KM (transmitter mast in the former Soviet Union)
- Watchtowers on the former inner-German border
- Almost all wind turbines
- Tower of the German Air Traffic Control (e.g .: Leipzig and Düsseldorf)
- Embassy building of the GDR types Pankow I - III
- Signal boxes of the Reichsbahn and the Deutsche Bundesbahn
- Train stations, e.g. B. Standard train station (Württemberg)
-
Indoor swimming pools in the GDR
- Type A (Anklam)
- Type B (Bitterfeld) (such as the Lankow indoor swimming pool )
- Type C with characteristic VT fold
- Type D (Berlin 83)
Demarcation
- The Bartning emergency churches were built using prefabricated structural parts. Their construction followed a type design, which, however, basically provided for several possible variants and was mostly combined with architecturally individually designed components.
- The 47 Bismarck towers based on the "Götterdämmerung" sample design by Wilhelm Kreis were designed with individual differences (e.g. in size, building material and artistic decoration), so we can only speak of a design sample, not a type construction.
- Also at Cube House by Piet Blom is a design pattern, no Every system works. It was implemented in two building complexes in the Netherlands, whereby it was adapted to the respective circumstances.
- The Winkel bunkers have a consistent, patent-protected construction principle, but were built in widely different sizes and shapes according to individual plans.
- A design is the appearance or basic concept of a building or component. The designation aims at a typological classification, i.e. the classification of a building in a certain category or group of buildings. The shotgun house and the ranch-style house, for example, are common types of construction with similar characteristics in the USA, but there is no underlying standardized planning or design pattern.
