At the end of the Second World War Winston Churchill promised to manufacture half a million prefabricated bungalows to ease the housing shortage; in the end more than 156,000 temporary 'prefabs' were delivered. Nicknamed 'Palaces for the People', and with convenient kitchens, bathrooms and heating systems, they proved popular and instead of being demolished as intended they were defended by residents who campaigned to keep their family homes and communities. Nearly seventy years later, as the last of these two bedroom homes are being demolished, Elisabeth Blanchet tells the story of these popular dwellings and their gardens and shows the various designs that were produced. Through the stories and memories of residents, she also reveals the communities who were pleased to live in the prefabs.

For many, the idea of prefab housing may bring to mind trailers and other less desirable images of home life. But this idea couldn't be more wrong! Rather, the newest trends in prefab have emerged as a great way for a design- (and cost-) conscious generation to achieve the dream of home ownership. Today, prefab houses are manufactured to the highest standards of construction and aesthetics. And with the internet, these houses can be ordered from all over the world--affording people everywhere the opportunity to acquire an affordable home of distinction. Prefab Modern explores the best prefabricated houses on the market today, from all over the world along with a resource directory on how you can purchase them. Included are case studies from all over the US and around the world, from top architects and designers. Prefab is the inevitable next step to "cool" housing as the market looks for reasonably priced housing for first and second homes. Prefab Houses Designsource is the perfect guide to this undeniable and fascinating trend.

Prefabricated architecture is turning into one of the most important trends in the world of contemporary design. Architects and designers the world over have started to reinvent the prefabricated house, using new materials and construction techniques - such as shipping containers - which are easy to transport and construct, and can be installed in often surprising locations. Prefabricated houses also offer new ecological solutions and improved sustainability compared with traditional building systems, since they represent a more effective use of resources and a reduction in construction time. This superbly illustrated book presents prefabricated housing projects made from wood, recycled materials and recycled containers, all of which include step-by-step photographs and building plans along with assembly details.

Prefabricated housing of high design and quality construction has long been an elusive goal for architects, where industry practices, bureaucratic regulations, and cost have always stood in the way— until now. The New York–based firm Resolution: 4 Architecture is revolutionizing prefab housing with their Modern Modular design system. Home designs based on modules of use intended for communal or private spaces are mixed and matched to achieve an infinite number of designs suited to each buyer's site, budget, and lifestyle. Modern Modular, the first book on the critically acclaimed firm, presents fourteen beautifully photographed case studies illustrating each step in their prefab system—from design and fabrication to transportation, siting, and final construction of distinctively modern and surprisingly affordable new homes.

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.

What Are Prefab Homes? Prefab homes, short for prefabricated homes, are dwellings constructed in sections or modules in a factory setting before being transported and assembled on a permanent site. Unlike traditional homes built brick-by-brick on location, prefab homes are largely manufactured off-site and brought together in a fraction of the time. These homes range from simple, affordable models to luxurious, custom-built designs that can rival the finest architecture. This method of construction offers a streamlined, efficient approach to building that has gained popularity in recent years due to its versatility and potential for cost savings. With prefab homes, quality control is often higher, as construction takes place in a controlled environment, reducing errors caused by weather or on-site conditions. Prefab homes are no longer the simplistic or utilitarian structures they were once perceived to be. Today, they encompass a wide variety of styles, from ultra-modern to traditional, proving that prefabrication can accommodate any design preference.
