BUILDING DESIGN STANDARDIZATION PROBLEM

Imagine that, whenever someone wanted to buy a car, if that car was designed & built from ground-up!
Imagine that, how much more time it would take to produce each car & how much more each car would cost!
& also realize, all repair & maintenance costs would be much higher!

& yet, realize that, that is the exact situation w/ building design & construction today!
Each building project is designed & built from ground-up!

Now imagine a future world where/when, there was a global standard set of (free) building designs of all kinds!
So where/when-ever, someone wanted to build any kind of building project, (s)he would just choose one or more of the standard building designs!

Imagine that, all building designs in the standard set, are designed for certain max limits for earthquakes & bad weather & fire etc.
(So that all buildings in the world would have the same/standard level of strength/durability against all kinds of disasters!)
(They also should/must provide same max limit for time durability (against rusting etc)!)

Imagine that, over time, each building design in the set was modified/replaced w/ improved versions!
(& new designs kept getting added as needed/wanted, also!)

Imagine that, each building design is also designed to be (de)constructed fast/easy/cheap (like LEGO!?)!

Imagine that, there could be multiple standard building design sets:
For example, imagine a set for military buildings, which have much higher strength & durability standards!

Also, IMHO, this kind of full standardization would be especially perfect for using Shipping Container Architecture to solve global cheap housing problem!
Imagine, giant metal skeleton buildings (built like LEGO), which just provide slots for standardized Shipping Container housing units!
Imagine, each giant building has a robotic system that can take a housing unit from a truck waiting below & insert it to any slot in the building & vice versa!
