Abstract


In this article an account is given of the change in activity and name of the prestigious European association EUROPREFAB, which has now become EUROBUILD, as a result of the fact that there is no longer such great interest in prefabrication techniques as was the case in previous decades, and the dawning of a brilliant future for construction research, concerning the expected form to be adopted by the industries in this sector in the year 2000. The main topics discussed at the conference held in Scheweningen {The Hague) — organized by that Association — are briefly reviewed. These topics dealt with the influence of Electronics in the construction industry, the influence of dimensional co-ordination in building designs and their execution; work methods and the new relationship between participants in the construction process, the types and forms of habitat under the influence of audiovisual and telematic media; and new materials, methods and procedures of construction.
