Physical description; 223 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Notes; Includes bibliographical references (p. 212-213) and index. Summary; Prefabrication cannot be ignored, for it challenges the most traditional values of architecture. Architects may have neglected this area of practical construction, but they have much to learn from pattern-book houses, modular structures, Portakabins and mobile homes. "The Prefabricated Home" examines how the relationship between architecture and industrialized building has now become an urgent issue for architects. Colin Davies traces the history of prefabricated buildings from small-scale 'prefabs' to the precast concrete mass housing of the 1960s to the present-day revival of interest in 'volumetric' modular buildings, and assesses their architectural implications. He looks at what is happening today in factories and on building sites worldwide, and contrasts the aesthetic concerns of architects with the economic ones of industrialized building manufacturers. He argues that the involvement of architects in industrialized building can produce an exciting new type of architecture that is humane, liberating and environmentally friendly. "The Prefabricated Home" is a revealing and instructive book that will appeal to anyone interested in architecture and concerned with the future of housing. Subjects; Prefabricated houses.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From sash windows and ceramic tiles to barracks and warehouses, industrialized building has thrived since the nineteenth century in Europe and America. Yet architects have neglected this area of practical construction in favor of historical, theoretical, and artistic analyses, resulting in the emergence of an influential building industry with architects on the far margins. Colin Davies explores in 'The Prefabricated Home' how the relationship between architecture and industrialized building has now become an urgent issue for architects. 'The Prefabricated Home' outlines the methods and motives of prefabricated buildings and assesses their architectural implications. Davies traces the origins of the branded building phenomenon with examples ranging from the Dymaxion bathroom to IKEA's 'Bo Klok' house. He also analyzes the use of industrialized buildings worldwide--including McDonald's drive-through restaurants and contrasts the aesthetic concerns of architects against the economic ones of industrialized building manufacturers. Ultimately, 'The Prefabricated Home' proposes a partnership of architects and industrialized building that could potentially produce an exciting new type of humane and eco-conscious architecture.…
