The Prefabricated Home

As an architect interested in the idea of prefabrication I approached this book with the hope of learning as well as being instructed and entertained. The author succeeded on all counts. This book is extremely readable without losing any weight in content. I recommend it to anyone looking for both a historical and a social history of prefabricated building techniques. My only criticism is that the book skimmed over the huge prefab industry in Asia and Japan in particular to focus on Europe and North America. A small gripe concerning an excellent and rewarding read.
