Davies, Colin, 1929-. The prefabricated home. London: Reaktion, 2005, 223pp., PAPERBACK, very good. Rear cover text: "Most popular housing is to some extent prefabricated and has been for more than a hundred years. This is one of the reasons why it does not really count as architecture." - "Architects are good at designing prototypes for prefabricated houses, but bad at following through with volume production. If they want to succeed in this field, and make a real difference to most people's most intimate experience of buildings, then they must be prepared to learn from areas of the building industry that they have traditionally shunned, from pattern-book houses to modular hotels, from Portakabins to park homes." - CONTENTS: Part I. Histories -- 1. An architectural history -- 2. A non-architectural history -- 3. House of the century : the mobile home -- Part II. Theories -- 4. The question of authorship -- 5. Professionalism and pattern books -- 6. Down with the system -- Part III. Practices -- 7. Ideal homes -- 8. Little boxes -- 9. The robot and the carpenter -- Conclusion. 9781861892430 ISBN 1861892438.
