NEW PREFAB ARCHITECTURE

This book presents examples of prefabricated architecture in a contemporarycontext, with special emphasis on more ecological models. Prefabricatedconstructions represent a more effective use of resources, a reduction inconstruction time and a minimization of the generation of waste. Theseattributes imply a reduction in the ecological footprint of suchconstructions, and in the case of residential architecture may representthe optimum balance between the size of the module and the real time itwill be used for. As well as offering new solutions for prefabricatedhomes, New Prefab, also focuses on cases related to ephemeral architecture(stands, mobile offices, pavilions), situational architecture (refuges,information centers) or public installations.
