Prefab and Modular maps the current state of prefabricated and modular construction across residential, public, and commercial architecture — drawing together a century of accumulated thinking into a single, project-driven survey.
About This Book
Prefabrication and modular construction have moved from fringe experiment to mainstream practice, and this volume makes the case for why. Spanning residential homes, public buildings, container architecture, cabins, shacks, and extensions, the book assembles a wide spectrum of built work that demonstrates the real breadth of what these techniques can achieve. It speaks equally to architects and designers seeking new construction methodologies and to property owners weighing efficient ways to build, renovate, or extend. The result is a survey that is as practically grounded as it is visually compelling — a working reference for modular design in the contemporary context.
