Architects need to change their attitudes towards design, turning
from an individual client/site-based approach to addressing the needs of
market sectors and buildings which need to be adaptable to fit any site.
Architects are good at designing prefabricated house prototypes, but
fail when it comes to volume production with its very different needs.
Author Colin Davies is an architectural professor and here covers the
history and practical needs of volume production for prefabricated
structures, making THE PREFABRICATED HOME an important reference for any
college-level collection strong in contemporary architecture.
