Center Mass PersonalizationThe structure of the construction industry has always been predominantly characterized by single, individual properties. In comparison to industrial mass production, it has its own unique connection to personalization. Personalization in the areas of construction and living spaces may refer to the long-term personalization of spaces (floor plans, equipment and organizational features) as well as the specific use of places (heat, comfort, lighting and so on). In addition to the user-centered design of common spaces, individual construction and design activities involve legal and sustainability-related requirements in the field of construction and living spaces. Aspects relating to a healthy and livable environment also need to be considered.
