A prefab is a mass-produced house, constructed in a factory and
assembled on-site in a few days or weeks. Once regarded as a cheap,
easy solution for urgent housing problems, the prefab has evolved
to become a synonym for ambitious design and sophisticated
detailing solutions. The amazing history of prefabricated houses
started in England in the 1830's with a building kit for emigrants
moving to Australia. Even today, prefabricated houses provide a
high percentage of living spaces in many countries of the world.
This book covers prefabs from the USA via Europe to Asia and
Africa, giving insight into the various industrially prefabricated
components, the difficulties of delivery to the building site, and
the intricacies of assembly and completion. As well as tracing the
link between modernism and industrialization that evolved to
produce the latest prefabricated solutions, it also features a
unique compilation of one-off prefabricated houses by well-known
international architects, as well as successful dwellings
manufactured off-site for everyday modern living.Readers will also
find contact details for relevant suppliers and manufacturers.
