The Future of Modular Architecture presents an unprecedented
proposal for mass-customized mid- and high-rise modular housing
that can be manufactured and distributed on a global scale.
Advocating for the adoption of open-source design based on a new
modular standard, the book shows how the construction industry and
architectural practice may soon be radically reshaped. By
leveraging the existing intermodal freight transport system, global
supply chains can be harnessed to realize the long-held promise
that housing will be a well-designed and affordable industrial
product. We are on the cusp of a transformative change in the way
we design and build our cities. Author David Wallance argues that
modular architecture is profoundly intertwined with globalization,
equitable urbanism, and sustainable development. His book addresses
these timely issues through a specific approach grounded in
fundamental concepts. Going beyond the individual modular building,
Wallance forecasts the emergence of a new type of design,
manufacturing, and construction enterprise. Written in an
approachable style with illustrated examples, the book is a must
read for professionals in architecture and design, city planning,
construction, real estate, as well as the general reader with an
interest in these topics.
