Modular Prismatic Box-Like Structure-Based Building Method and Infrastructure
A green or sustainable building infrastructure comprising conjoining modular building segments. The purpose of the invention is to increase the precision, quality, and timing of building projects by allowing modular building segments to be constructed in an off-site controlled environment, transported, and quickly assembled on site. The conjoining modular building segments are prismatic box-like structures conjoined in a variety of configurations, each having at least three walls. The prismatic box-like structures are arranged and attached horizontally to create ceilings and floors, and they are arranged and attached vertically to create walls for the infrastructure. Some of the walls may be removed and the space inside each prismatic box-like structure is available for storage. The prismatic box-like structures may have certain dimensions, comprise specific materials, or be constructed or conjoined in specific ways.
Dwelling with selectively adjustable living spaces, and corresponding methods associated thereto
A dwelling for accommodating users, the dwelling including at least one dividing module provided with respect to a floor surface for separating the floor surface into at least two separate living spaces, the at least one dividing module being selectively adjustable in position with respect to the floor surface for providing the dwelling with selectively adjustable living spaces. The dwelling also includes a displacement assembly operatively connectable to the at least one dividing module for displacing said at least one dividing module about the floor surface. The dwelling also includes a controlling assembly operatively disposed between the at least one dividing module and the displacement assembly for allowing a user of the dwelling to selectively and adjustably position the at least one dividing module with respect to the floor surface of the dwelling, and in turn to selectively and adjustably vary a corresponding layout of the two separate living spaces delimited by the at least one dividing module, in response to a given input of the user and depending on a desired configuration by said user of the dwelling.
Ballroom-style cleanroom assembled from modular buildings
A rapidly deployable cleanroom is constructed from multiple modular building sections that are side-by-side and have similarly sized lengths, as well as user-accessible panels in multiple of them for air, water, power, networking, and other utilities at a similar internal location along their lengths. The utility panels can be standardized such that each panel is substantially identical to one another. The modular building sections can be drawn together using tension cables within lateral hollow extruded structural tubes beneath and/or above the cleanroom, the tension system utilizing jackscrews to pull everything tight. Because the utility panels are at the same longitudinal location in the building sections, the joined structure and resulting open space “ballroom” style cleanroom has the utility panels aligned with each other inside the cleanroom.
METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A WEATHER-PROTECTING ROOF TRUSS AND A WEATHER-PROTECTING ROOF TRUSS BUNDLE
Disclosed is a method for the installation of a roof truss on an upper part of a building. A roof truss package includes multiple trusses spaced from each other to be mounted on top of upper runners on the building's opposite walls. The method includes using a prefabricated roof truss package in which the individual trusses are disposed side by side in a bundle, with weather protection present in a pleated condition on top of the bundle. The bundle is unfolded at construction site in such a way that the adjacent trusses become locked at a certain distance from each other by brace members included in the trusses and at the same time the weather protection unfolds to cover the trusses and the intervening space. Finally, the individual trusses are fastened to the upper runners. Also disclosed is a prefabricated roof truss package which is provided with a weather protection.

Fold-Out Prefabricated Structure and Method for the Assembly Thereof
The invention relates to a fold-out prefabricated construction structure and method for the assembly thereof. The structure, having bays of desired width, length and shape, is made up of porticos formed by pillars and an upper structure (27). The method involves positioning the base (1) on a surface (28) and provisionally fixing at least one portion of said base. This allows opening the porticos with the help of auxiliary structures created for this purpose (14). The elements of the structure are fixed to one another, and to the surface of the portions of the base in their final position. Each of the porticos not yet fixed must be moved to their final position, in a successive manner and separately from the closest fixed portico, together with the rest of still free attached porticos, and suitably fixed to the surface.
