Résumé
Prefabricated construction has celebrated a renewed popularity over the last few years, and for good reason. Thanks to continually refined offsite production techniques, architects, engineers, builders, and the general public have embraced a way to reconcile high-quality architecture with increasing regulatory pressure, economic considerations, and environmental consciousness. No longer does the term "prefab" call to mind bland cookie-cutter housing, temporary classroom bungalows, or undifferentiated precast building blocks.
As architects Mark and Peter Anderson have demonstrated in more than twenty years of practice as Anderson Anderson Architecture, a perceptive and creative approach to prefabricated construction makes possible affordable, well-designed buildings in harmony with their natural and public environments. With Prefab Prototypes, the authors provide a thorough overview of the driving forces behind prefabrication, highlighting ways in which applied logic and design efficiency result in lower costs, quicker construction time, higher-quality buildings, and environmentally smarter use of resources.
The Andersons outline six different construction approaches common to current prefabrication practice - panelized 2x4, CNC timber framing, precast and panelized concrete systems, steel framing, sandwich panels, and modular systems - exploring potentials and appropriate applications for each, illustrated with real-world applications drawn from their projects in the U.S. and Japan. Using residential, commercial, and public examples, the case studies demonstrate that flexible prefabrication technologies, paired with imagination and a sensitivity to local conditions, are as applicable on the side of a cliff, on a remote island, or in the middle of an apple orchard as they are in the heart of downtown or in a dense suburban neighborhood. The many plans, sections, exploded-component drawings, and photographs, coupled with the Andersons' detailed and illuminating text, provide a thorough theoretical foundation and imaginative examples for describing site-specific prefabrication's vast potential to harness advancing production technologies and revolutionize architecture and the construction industry.
