Abstract
Advancing technologies in prefabrication and changing economic conditions have revived the market for large panel precast concrete buildings. The large panel building system is particularly well adapted to high rise housing, such as apartment buildings and hotels. In this article, the author discusses the architectural, structural, and production considerations involved in such building systems. To be successful, industrialized production methods are developed for the efficient manufacture of the concrete elements. Successful use of the large panel system in low rise housing in Switzerland is a significant new development.
