Originally published in 1995, this book unravels the history of the
'temporary bungalow' and shows that perhaps it was more a question
of providing a new peace-time product for factories than a means of
providing accommodation for the homeless. Built in a period of
housing history which remains fascinating for architects and
planners and admired by some of their first occupants but berated
by others, those prefabs remaining today are subject to
preservation orders but also perhaps offer a solution to the
ongoing housing crisis in the UK. The book includes chapters on the
development of the prefab house in the UK; comparisons with
temporary housing programmes in the USA, Sweden and Germany;
political and economic considerations to the UK Temporary Housing
Programme and a discussion of the design of the Arcon, Uni-Seco,
Tarran and Aluminium Temporary Bungalows.
