Prefabricated houses are being used more and more frequently at major events

With the booming development of the global sports industry, large-scale international events such as the Olympic Games, the World Cup soccer matches, the Asian Games and so on have become important platforms for displaying national strength and promoting cultural exchanges.

The holding of these major events not only requires top-notch sports facilities and competition organizations, but also requires the rapid construction of safe, comfortable and environmentally friendly temporary accommodation, office and spectator spaces. In this context, prefabricated houses have gradually become an indispensable part of large-scale events with their efficient, flexible and sustainable features, showing their great potential in modern urban construction and emergency response.

Definition and Characteristics of Prefabricated House

Prefabricated housing, as the name suggests, is a form of construction that adopts factory production methods to pre-fabricate various components of a house (such as walls, floor slabs, roofs, etc.) in a factory, and then transports them to the site for rapid assembly. Compared with the traditional on-site casting or brick-concrete construction, prefabricated houses have the following significant features:

Fast construction speed: prefabricated components are completed in the factory and only assembled on-site, which greatly shortens the construction cycle and meets the time-critical requirements of large-scale events.

Controllable quality: The factory production environment ensures the precision and consistency of the components, reducing the uncertainty and quality risk of on-site operations.

Environmental protection and energy saving: prefabricated houses can effectively control material waste in the production process and have a high recycling rate, which is in line with the development trend of green building.

High flexibility: the design is diversified and can be customized according to different needs in terms of size, style and function to meet the diversified spatial needs during the tournament.

Application examples of prefabricated houses in major events
Athletes’ Village: In the past Olympic Games and World Cup and other major events, prefabricated houses are often used to build athletes’ villages, which provide a comfortable accommodation environment for the competitors. These houses are not only equipped with complete living facilities, but also pay attention to sound insulation and heat insulation performance to ensure that the athletes get sufficient rest.

Media Center and Office Area: With the huge workload of press releases and major  event management during the event, prefabricated houses can be used to quickly set up temporary office areas and media centers, providing an efficient working environment for staff and media reporters.

Temporary facilities for spectators: In response to the surge of spectators, prefabricated buildings can be used to build temporary stands, ticket booths, food and beverage service areas, etc., which can effectively alleviate the pressure on the capacity of the venues and enhance the spectator experience.

Emergency shelter: In the event of natural disasters or emergencies, prefabricated houses can also be quickly transformed into emergency shelters, providing temporary resettlement for event-related personnel and local residents, reflecting their versatility and emergency response capability.

The future outlook of the application of prefabricated houses

With the progress of science and technology and environmental protection concept of the people, prefabricated houses in the application of large-scale events will be more extensive and in-depth. In the future, prefabricated houses will pay more attention to the development direction of intelligentization, modularization and greening:

Intellectualization: Through the integration of Internet of Things, big data and other technologies, intelligent management of prefabricated houses, such as automatic adjustment of indoor temperature and humidity, intelligent security systems, etc., will be realized to enhance the comfort and safety of living and working.

Modularization: Further refine the modular design of prefabricated components to improve the convenience of transportation and assembly, as well as to facilitate disassembly, reorganization or reuse after the race, reducing the waste of resources.

Greening: Adopting environmentally friendly materials, such as recycled plastics, bamboo, etc., combined with renewable energy technologies such as solar energy and wind energy, to create low-carbon and energy-saving prefabricated houses, and to help organize green events.

In conclusion, prefabricated houses play an increasingly important role in large-scale events with their unique advantages. In the future, with the continuous progress of technology and continuous innovation of concept, prefabricated houses will become an important force to promote the sustainable development of cities and enhance the efficiency of event organization.
