World's tallest prefabricated skyscrapers set to be built in Singapore
Architecture studio ADDP has designed a pair of 56-storey skyscrapers in Singapore that will be built using Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction, making them the tallest prefabricated buildings in the world.
Named Avenue South Residences, the pair of high-rise residential tower blocks will be built within an existing housing estate in Singapore.
ADDP chose to contrast the existing building with a modern-looking structure that was designed using modern, prefabricated construction techniques.
Both skyscrapers will be built using Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), which the studio believes will make the 200-metre-high skyscrapers the tallest buildings built using substantial amounts of prefabrication.
ADDP estimates that around 80 per cent of each housing module will be built off-site, with waterproofing, tiling, painting, glazing, cabinetry, plumbing and electrics completed before being delivered to be "stacked and joined together on-site".
"As each module is almost 80 per cent finished off-site prior to assembly on-site, this will greatly reduce the construction time required on-site ? as the modules are only required to be?stacked? and ?joined? together on-site," explained Hann.
"This will enable the project to reduce wastage both on-site and off-site with better control of the production processes through a central materials and logistics platform."
The prefabricated units will contain over 1,000 reside...
