Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9617138A1] A modular building comprises a plurality of vertical loadbearing columns (52) and a plurality of prefabricated, essentially identical volume modules (10) which are of rectangular horizontal section and which are vertically supported by the columns (52) on one or more floors in such a manner that each of them carries only its own dead weight and load. This building is distinguished by being, with respect to force take-up, divided into an inner zone (IZ), which takes up forces in the vertical direction and contains the columns (52) and the volume modules (10) suspended therefrom and which essentially does not take up any lateral forces acting on the building, as well as a facade zone (FZ), which is arranged immediately outside the inner zone to take up lateral forces in order to stabilize laterally the inner zone (IZ), and hence the entire building. To this end, the facade zone comprises a plurality of facade panel elements (80) which are distributed along the outside of the inner zone and are vertically oriented in a direction perpendicular to the facade of the building.
