Current housing systems, while offering a shelter, provide very little more in terms of differentiation and variation of units, or any selection on the part of the resident. This is termed the minimum solution and can, result in monotonous housing developments, discontent among inhabitants, and in general, dislike for "prefabricated houses.” But, through re-evaluation of design priorities, and developing the maximum solution, which does contain many variations and a wide selection for the owner, an industrialized system of building can offer each person a unique unit and in turn, make "prefabricated houses" desirable to live in.v, 38 pages, 1 unnumbered leavesapplication/pdfenIn CopyrightLD5655.V855 1970.M29Prefabricated housesAn investigation of the possibilities within the limitations of prefabrication in housing todayThesis
