Rezab, Donald James – 1970
The purpose of this study was to assess the present state of building systems, to analyze projects currently being developed, and to predict future advances in systems. "Building system" is used to designate a minimum of three major subsystems designed to fit and function together without the necessity of onsite cutting or other extensive…

Systems approach as used in this paper refers to the process of a building coming into being. The systems approach attempts to relate the processes of factory production and school construction in that the problems of the spacing and fitting of construction components are considered at the beginning of the design stage of construction. For the…

Halsall, R. – 1969
The history, advantages, and disadvantages of component building systems are discussed. Application of the scientific method to the building industry forecasts the use of prefabrication and on-site erection of factory-made subsystems of buildings. Educational facilities in the United States, Canada, and England have made use of many different…

Building Research Establishment, Watford (England). – 1965
A history of prefabrication in Britain from the first Victorian innovations in wood, glass, and cast iron, through the developments of the inter-war years and the buildings of the immediate post-war period to the 'system building' of today is presented. The study is not confined to houses and flats but examines the influences of non-traditional…

Robbie, Roderick G. – 1969
A description is presented of the building system program developed by the Metropolitan Toronto School Board, Study of Educational Facilities. The organization of the project is discussed, and the rationale is presented for the selection of an open systems approach to the School Board's building needs. Detailed information is given regarding the…

North Carolina State Dept. of Public Instruction, Raleigh. Div. of Vocational Education. – 1988
This guide is intended for use in teaching a course in construction systems. The course, which is intended for students in grades 9 and 10, examines construction technology in terms of a sequential process that includes the planning, building, and servicing of structures. The first two sections discuss the guide's development within the framework…
