Abstract

This article focuses on a model home in Santa Monica, California which makes a case for prefabricated housing. Prefabricated housing has been around for a century Mail-order kits were sold for decades through Maddin and Sears, Roebuck, and modular homes remain the cornerstone of trailer parks everywhere. Almost from the beginning, avant-garde architects have been intrigued by prefabricated's design and cost-saving potential. INSET: GREEN PIECES.
