In Canada for EXPO267; capacities of 158 residential areas have been constructed through modular box system. This new construction is a work put that will be told about for a long time in architectural history. Today, the modular box systems are being widely used in Europe, USA and Japan. This system is suitable if required high speed construction of different functional buildings such as residential, hotels, hostels, offices and schools. The system is on, can be constructed as opened, half-closed or closed units. Modular box system, a single module or a number of different alternatives to the planning module is formed with a different flexibility in planning and construction which allows quick production method. In this study, first of all, the development process of modular box system has been examined in an historical period. Accordingly, the system has been classified in terms of static and spatial characteristics, assembly method and the type of their uses. At the last part of thi
