ABSTRACT:
A building formed by horizontally conjoining a plurality of congruent, self-supporting, sector-like modular building segments, each comprising a sector floor and congruent roof section, and a straight and opposing vee-shaped wall section, supported in between two opposite and converging identical rib-frames, each continuously structural and symmetrically equal about their respective planes of symmetry, therein allowing a plurality of modular building segments to interconnect on either rib-frame side to produce a variety of building configurations, one of which being a regular polygon-like building containing an interior open court. Mutually interconnected rib-frames of conjoining modular building segments, which are each approximately of bedroom-size area, fully open within their rectangular rib-frame perimeters for contiguous room expansion and for placement of various types of multifunctional demountable interior partitioning. Rib-frames structurally protrude continuously on the exterior to accommodate common foundation members, to provide multistory stacking alignment support, and for separation of independent floor and roof elements between all story-levels. Modular building segments, transportable in either their premanufactured, prefinished, portable component sections or in factory assembled modular units, will each mechanically connect and disconnect between the mutually interconnected rib-frames of all conjoining modular building segments and also between individually assembled floor, roof, wall, and rib-frame sections. Straight and vee-shaped wall sections contain one and two openings respectively to accommodate either door, window, or other detachable fascade panel elements of different function and design to optionally change a modular building segment's external character. A utilities trough accessible from the outside is established at each of the four modular building segment corners where floor and roof sections meet non-load bearing opposing wall sections.
