Solar Decathlon establishes a platform for students to demonstrate their study and research outcomes. This paper discusses a project of SDC2021, Aurora, to illustrate the adoption of design strategies for Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) oriented to rapid construction. Through the off-site prefabrication and on-site assembly procedures, this work investigates the feasibility of deploying rapid construction and simultaneous collaboration of multi-participants to realize a modular volumetric house. Through systematic empirical research and data analysis, the paper also explores the potential contributions of PMC in enhancing industrialization levels in construction, reducing on-site waste, and promoting environmentally friendly architectural design. Finally, it provides insights into future research directions and trends in the PMC field to innovate further and apply rapid construction technologies.
