117 Division of walls in print parts. The top of figure 8.2. shows five possibilities for the division of the floor plan, created as a solution to the problem with the corridor in current terraced housing as described before. In order to choose one way of dividing this floor plan into print parts, the five options are analysed on the amount of connections, the way of assembling the print part and the functions of the building. This analysis is visible in the bottom of figure 8.2. The first guideline for determining the proper way of dividing the parts is the amount of connections that have to be made while assembling the parts, there are two type of connections, For first type of connection, marked with a red circle, two ends of the print art need to be connected, which is a labour intensive connection. The second connection however, marked with a pink circle, connects the end of one building part with the side of the other part, this connection is easier to realize. After leaving out the options with a big amount of connections, the options are analysed on the way of assembling. Sliding one part in between the other parts, the single arrows in the image, can cause difficulties in the building process, because of this these alternatives are not suitable. The main difference between the two remaining parts is the difference in the functions that belong to the different parts, because the logic of the building seems more clear if the separated part contains only one function and the other part the rest of the functions, this option will be used in further research.
