Modules for living: the advantages of prefabrication have yet to be translated into decent architecture, but in California, cradle of the modern house, experimentation goes on to provide elegant, economical dwellings that have a viability beyond the prototype stage.(process)

Constructing a one-off residence is a costly, messy, and time-consuming process, which is why, for the past ninety years, progressive architects have dreamed of standardised modern houses built on a production line like cars and aircraft. Le Corbusier's 1914 Citrohan house was an early sketch. Buckminster Fuller dedicated twenty years to refining his cylindrical aluminium Dymaxion house, only to abandon the project in 1946, just as production in a Kansas aircraft plant was about to begin. Jean Prouve manufactured two prototypes of a tropical house that were air-shipped to ...
