The concept of modular construction is advantageous due to its adaptability, affordability, speed, efficiency, and sustainability. The development of modular buildings no longer implies that the structure must be unattractive or have a restricted range of functions. Modular designs can offer a smooth and natural extension of the adjacent facilities or attached to them, whether for a permanent or temporary application. Numerous market sectors, including schools, universities, airports, railroads, haulage companies, petrochemical plants, and the shipbuilding industry, to name a few, can benefit from the quick and sustainable housing solutions provided by modular buildings. Here are a few structures and designs that are examples of modular building uses that will convince you to choose Aries Building Systems for your next project!
CONCERT HALLS

The Isarphilharmonie is a portable structure with a steel outside and an interior constructed of prefabricated timber components. Up to 1,900 people can sit together in the stalls, first- and second-floor levels, and balconies. The nearly square concert hall is discreet and functional, with dark grey walls and seating contrasted solely by the stage’s light-colored oak floor. It creates an artistically satisfying relationship with the adjacent old brick structure. This implies that what takes place on stage is the only thing getting attention.
The modular venue was created by Von Gerkan, Marg, and Partners and features premium acoustics by Yasuhisa Toyota of the Paris Philharmonie and Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. It is a striking yet understated black wooden box with a pale timber stage that concentrates attention like a movie screen.
DAYCARES

Making a structure out of modular construction makes sense if you run a daycare. An entirely new permanent installation for your daycare can be built more quickly and affordably with the help of a modular building provider than with traditional construction. Alternatively, they can assist you in growing by adding extra space (temporary or permanent) swiftly. Infinite customization, floor plan, and design possibilities are also available with modular daycares to help you build the ideal environment for your requirements.
One of the six childcare facilities open on the Harvard campus is the Harvard Yard Child Care Center. For the current Harvard University customers, a green, modular childcare center was constructed that was both cost-effective and environmentally responsible. It can be transferred to a location with the least waste so future users can enjoy it. The building was a three-month design-build-install sprint that went up against an alternative concept for energy-hungry throw-away structures.
Although not very innovative in look, this structure demonstrates that green building techniques may be just as effective as less eco-friendly ones. Green becomes the only viable alternative for development and is no longer a “someday” project, which opens a lot of new opportunities for sustainable building.
AIRPORTS

Airport operators encounter numerous obstacles when trying to find solutions to fulfill present and future facility space needs. A crucial part of the planning process is knowing how to increase capacity to accommodate rising passenger demand while ensuring that all airport operations continue to run smoothly. Due to its ability to improve building efficiency while lowering costs and avoiding exposure to airport operations, modular construction is presently a more and more popular and cost-effective choice for airport development projects.
The flexibility required to continue the expansion of the Charles de Gaulle International Airport in Paris can be provided through modularity in a general structure that is continually expanding. Modules were used to construct the most recent terminal. The arching pieces, however, enable the curving aesthetics to be retained while still being accessible to future extensions, as opposed to the more conventional cubic ones.
PRISONS

For maximum security prisons, modular steel cells can be delivered much more quickly and at a much lower price than traditional steel cells. Prefabrication enables quicker on-site installation, lowering security concerns and related prison expenses and providing a more robust and high-quality solution at lower total life-cycle costs. With minor design modifications, cells can be put up to six stories high and sustain wind, seismic, and external wall, and roofing loads. Given that the prototype avoids re-design, it is a highly affordable and secure solution for both large and small venues.
Fleetwood Australia was commissioned to create a modular cell concept that perfectly matched the desired internal layout for maximum security single and double prison cells for NSW Corrections. They were hired to build 692 modular cells, or 920 beds, for the Prison Bed Capacity Program. The 15 cells each week created had the highest fire-rating concrete floors, beds, tables, shelves, toilets, showers, and convex mirrors each. To be connected on-site, all internal finishes and services were also finished and returned to the service risers. Once delivered, the NSW prisons at Junee, Cessnock, Mid North Coast, and Metropolitan Remand Reception Center were constructed using the modular cells.
HOSPITALS

Is it necessary to you to serve patients as soon as feasible in the safest and most aesthetically pleasant settings imaginable? When the COVID-19 pandemic started, the health industry wholeheartedly supported the use of temporary structures. Many hospitals have expanded their wards and isolation areas utilizing steel constructions, clear-span systems, and similar construction methods. When responding to calamities like floods, earthquakes, and more, you may have seen health facilities build improvised structures. These facilities provide swift, peaceful, secure, and spotless installations with an infinite selection of interior design, furniture, and equipment leasing options.
When the COVID-19 epidemic first broke out, China’s Fangcang Shelter Hospital became prominent due to its innovative architecture. This modular hospital’s large-scale, adaptable, economic, and practical attributes make it suitable for handling public health emergencies. In approximately 29 hours, Fangcang was built by turning public spaces into 4,000 beds for patients with mild to moderate conditions. With up to 13,000 beds and areas for quarantine, 16 modular hospitals had been built throughout Wuhan by 2020. Fangcang’s temporary character also prevented any long-term, inefficient use of space because the temporary structures could be readily taken down after the mission.
