Building segment is a separate part of a building constituting a functional and structural whole, designed to cooperate with other parts of the building. It may comprise a single use zone, a section of the structure or a group of rooms with a specific purpose.
It has its own geometry, structural layout and installation links that enable it to be properly integrated into the structure of the whole building. Its boundaries are defined at the design stage and result from the adopted functional, structural or technological layout.
A building segment can operate as part of a larger load-bearing system or, in certain solutions, exhibit partial structural independence. In modular construction, segments The building is often designed as repetitive units, which allows for flexibility in shaping the spatial layout, phasing of the project and future expansion of the building.
