A key aspect of the buildings in Reburg is the use of open building systems, in which compatible building components and connections are used for one or more building configurations. Like in Meccano™, K’nex™ and Lego™ kits, components and connections within the building system are designed according to dimensional modules, which allows a component within a building system to be replaced by a component of another system, thus supporting multiple combinations. This principle finds its inspiration in nature, where all organisms arecomposed of a limited amount of atoms and molecules, yet providing an enormous diversity of organisms. The principle of an open building industry was not an easy one to achieve, as it required standardization agreements within the entire building sector.
