Contemporary prefab Houses - Michelle Galindo, Braun Publishing

In recent years, Prefab has become a major buzzword in the world of contemporary architectural design. Prefabricated and flat-pack homes, buildings and furniture represent the possibilities of partial mass production and extreme portability fused into aesthetically awesome finished products. This title showcases the work of architects and builders who are striving to bring design and production concepts together to embrace modernist ideals and deliver affordable edgy designs. The challenge is to combine the need for mobility and sustainability with a building design that appeals to clients and overcomes potentially negative stereotypes that are conventionally associated with prefab.
