Reviews

'easy-to-read and provocative ... valuable to a wide and diverse audience of general readers, design students, practitioners, and academics ... Davies achieves such broad appeal by cleverly packaging two narratives into one book. His polemic on modern architecture is embedded inside of a competent short history of western architects' experimentations with prefabricated single family homes.' - Design Issues 'The Prefabricated Home is a rare thing indeed - an academic but accessible architectural history that's crystal clear about where architects should be paying more attention if they are to continue to be central to building design and offsite methods... a revealing, jargon-free and instructive book' - Offsite Construction magazine
