"With Prefab Prototypes, the authors provide a thorough overview of the driving forces behind prefabrication, high-lighting 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."--Jacket.
