This book presents 25 international examples of prefabricated architecture in a contemporary context. This book shows around 25 international houses that are based on modular and prefabrication systems. All of them have ecological advantages in comparison to standard construction systems, since they represent a more effective use of resources and a reduction of construction time and therewith costs. All houses are built in factories, carried by road and assembled on site. Thus, building materials can be used more economically and very few refuse is produced during construction. Due to the actual spread of technologies and construction typologies, the international prefabrication industry can deliver up-to-date houses, aesthetically modern, and with an average rank of prizes from very cheap solutions to more exclusive ones, depending on the main material used (wood, steel, galvanised aluminum and concrete).

Synopsis
This book presents 20 attractive examples of prefabricated architecture in a contemporary context, with special emphasis on more ecological models. Prefabricated constructions represent a more effective use of resources, a reduction in construction time and a minimization of the generation of waste. These attributes imply a reduction in the ecological footprint of such constructions, and in the case of residential architecture may represent the optimum balance between the size of the module and the real time it will be used for. As well as offering new solutions for prefabricated homes, this book also focuses on cases related to ephemeral architecture (stands, mobile offices, pavilions), situational architecture (refuges, information centres) or public installations.

Sehr umfangreiche Auswahl an Objekten, mit zwar zum Teil oberflächlichen Beschreibungen, aber doch sehr informativ.

A Peek at Prefab
23. Mai 2010
Von E. Jarolin
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book presents 23 houses from Europe, South America and the USA. Their common thread: the use of prefabrication, in one form or another, as well as various eco-friendly strategies.
The designs run the gamut from sleek modernist pavilions to those using vernacular architecture as a design cue. A house utilizing cargo containers; a floating 'barge' house; a house
draped with a tent-like solar reflecting skin. These are here, as well as other inventive takes on the rectilinear forms so often associated with prefab construction. Each house is covered
in 6 to 10 page chapters with a brief introduction and photo captions, in English, French and German, discussing the prefab and sustainable features employed. Color photographs, plans
and elevations are provided for each house, while many are additionally represented with building sections, axonometric views, exploded views and construction photos.
All in all, a very informative overview of the possibilities provided by prefab to the residential designer, as well as to the potential homeowner. However, it should be noted that this is not really
a catalog of off-the-shelf, purchase ready homes available for prompt trucking to your site. While there are several notable examples that approach this ideal, most of the works presented
here are customized, one of a kind designs that make use of the prefab method in order to reduce cost and/or raise quality.
A lot of information and inspiration at a very reasonable price.

A pretty good book on Prefab Houses
27. Februar 2010
Von Jason Heinbeck
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The only thing is that the editor of this book is not Angelika Taschen.
I thought this was a Taschen published book, but it is not. Other than that, it was exactly what I was looking for.
