Development Project 2
Modular Assembly & Building Construction - Post 4
Introduction
This blog documents the stage where the previously modelled modular assets were assembled into a complete building structure. The aim of this phase was to test how well the individual modules worked together when combined into a single architectural form.
This stage focuses on practical construction and visual evaluation of the modular system.
Assembling Modular Assets
The modular wall, window, corner, and secondary elements were combined to form a full building facade. By stacking and repeating the same assets, the structure was extended vertically and horizontally to create a complete building.
This process helped to:
Verify that assets align correctly
Check proportions at building scale
Identify any visual gaps or inconsistencies
Ensure the building reads as a cohesive structure
Assembling the building allowed the modular system to be evaluated in a real architectural context.
Integration of Secondary Elements
Secondary elements such as balconies and the fire escape were added to enhance realism and architectural depth. These features help break up large facade surfaces and reinforce the building’s functional design.
Because these elements are modular, they were attached directly to the main structure without requiring changes to the core building assets.
Evaluating Visual Consistency
Once the building was assembled, attention was given to overall visual balance and consistency. This involved reviewing:
Alignment of windows across floors
Consistency of wall proportions
Placement of secondary elements
Overall facade rhythm
This evaluation ensured that the building feels believable and structurally coherent.
Conclusion
The modular assembly stage successfully resulted in a complete building constructed from reusable assets. This phase confirmed that the modular components function correctly when combined and provided a solid foundation for final refinement and evaluation in the next stage of development.
