盒子构件房屋建筑是一种新型房屋结构型式。这种构件是由顶板、底板和四面墙板组成,是六面体形(也有的做成五面和四面体的),因它的外形酷似盒子,故称“盒子构件”。这种盒子构件,只需在工厂成批生产一些六面、五面或四面的,以一个房间大小为标准型体的盒子构件,在现场将其交错迭砌组合起来,接通水、暖、电等管线,就能建成单层、多层或高层房屋建筑。目前,世界上已有三十多个国家修建了盒子构件房屋,生产盒子构件较多的国家也有二十多个。盒子构件的使用范围也由低层发展到多层和高层。有的国家已建到15层或20层以上。加拿大有规模庞大的盒子构件综合体,苏联甚至出现了盒子构件建筑小区, Box component house construction is a new type of housing structure. This component is composed of a top plate, a bottom plate, and four wall panels. It is hexahedron-shaped (some are made of five-sided and tetrahedral ones). Because its shape resembles a box, it is called a “box component.” This kind of box component only needs to be mass-produced in the factory on six-, five-, or four-sided, box-like components of a standard room size. Electricity and other pipelines can be built into single-storey, multi-storey or high-rise buildings. At present, there are more than 30 countries in the world that have built box building houses. There are also more than 20 countries that produce more box components. The use of box components has also evolved from low to high and high levels. Some countries have built 15 or more floors. Canada has a large box component complex and the Soviet Union even has a box building community.
