The growing interest in customers' participation in unit planning has brought forth recent developments by general contractors in skeleton design for high-rise blocks of condominiums. This paper analyzes the capacity in flexible planning of prevalent skeleton designs of recent years, focusing on the modularity of ‘skeleton-infill architecture’. The analyses has proven that there is an evident trace of modularization and that the modularization has been achieved firstly by adopting flat floor slab systems and then by eliminating cross beams. The way to free planning has thus been paved, but the authors foresee the next stage need for modularizing infill construction.
