Abstract

Old buildings’ function promotion and transformation in cities is a new way to effectively improve people’s livelihood and vigorously stimulate domestic demand. However, government, as the sponsor of old buildings’ promotion and transformation projects, experiences a policy dilemma that exactly how to respond to the masses’ individual demands rapidly while taking the efficiency of supply into account. This article focuses on that if the modularity theory, which is applicable to private sector, can solve dis-economies of scale caused by customized supply in public sector. Through a case study in Tianjin, we find functional module partition mode and structural module partition mode, the main considerations of modular design, can make an influence on decision flexibility, whose intention is function configuration; and then, decision flexibility influence project performance by allocating optional space and speed.
