Prefab Housing and the Future of Building: Product to Process

 
Richly illustrated and drawing on historical examples and contemporary design studies, this book takes the reader through the history, theory and design of prefabricated and modular housing, leading up to a discussion of contemporary problems and opportunities. Including a broad international survey, wide ranging interviews, case studies of leading designers and companies, and cutting-edge research in the field, it suggests a future scenario for industrialized building that will both challenge those professions concerned with the design and production of the built environment, and stimulate the public imagination.
