This paper reviews developments in precast concrete design over the past five years and re-examines their application to social housing, as well as the evolution of precast construction methods. Although labor and material shortages pose challenges, they have also catalyzed a long-anticipated transformation in Taiwan's construction industry. As the integration of precast methods with social housing gains market acceptance, precast plants are approaching full capacity. The paper further discusses design simplification and modularization to increase production efficiency. Accordingly, it explores the essential role of precast in residential projects and its future trajectory. The paper presents two case studies in Taiwan: Wan Hua Housing and Pu Xin Housing projects, showing how different levels of precast adoption create distinct facade expressions and design outcomes. Tracing the design evolution of precast implementation, unlike industrial facilities, where structural precast predominates, social housing has progressed from using only precast exterior walls to so-called ''full precast.'' The paper outlines differences in component assemblies and discusses the potential development of accompanying systems, providing a concise update on the current state of precast design. |
