Abstract

In contemporary society, there is a notable rise in single-person households, coupled with an increased demand for residential spaces, necessitating the exploration of suitable housing solutions. Modular architecture is gaining prominence as a method to deliver cost-effective and sustainable living spaces efficiently. This study introduces a method for optimizing the design and construction processes of modular building units through Building Information Modeling(BIM) technology. It involves an analysis of factors that enhance living quality and meet the housing needs of single-person households. Utilizing BIM, a resource-efficient and cost-efficient modular apartment unit has been developed. BIM facilitates the visualization and integration of architectural components, thereby reducing design errors and enhancing productivity. This research evaluates both the benefits and constraints of modular architecture. Modular constructions, when combined with BIM, emerge as a potent solution for housing challenges, enriching the quality and variety of residential options. Nevertheless, considerations such as technical prerequisites and financial implications are also discussed. The study showcases the potential and merits of utilizing BIM for designing apartment units tailored to single-person households, offering a viable approach to ameliorate their living conditions.

현대 사회에서는 1인 가구가 증가하고 주거 공간에 대한 수요가 증가하고 있으며 이에 대한 적절한 대안 모색이 중요하다. 빠른 시간 내에 경제적이고 지속 가능한 주거 공간을 제공하기 위한 방법으로 모듈러 건축이 주목받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 BIM(Building Information Modeling) 기술을 활용한 모듈러 건축 유닛 설계 및 시공 과정 최적화 방법을 제안한다. 1인 가구의 주거 요구사항과 삶의 질 향상을 위한 요인을 분석하였다. 이를 바탕으로 BIM을 활용하여 효율적이고 경제적인 모듈러 공동주택 유닛을 개발하였다. BIM은 건축 요소의 시각화 및 상호 연결을 제공하여 설계 과정의 오류를 최소화하고 생산성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 모듈러 건축의 장점과 한계를 평가하였다. BIM을 활용한 모듈러 건축물은 주거 문제를 해결할 수 있는 효과적인 대안으로 제시될 수 있으며 주거 공간의 품질과 다양성을 높일 수 있다. 다만 기술적 요구사항 및 비용 등의 한계도 고려되어야 한다. BIM 기반 1인 가구 공동주택 유닛 설계의 가능성과 장점을 제시하고 1인 가구 개선을 위한 실질적인 해결책으로 활용될 수 있다.
