Prefab
Design Innovation in Manufactured Housing
It's a two-by-four. It's a structural insulated panel. It's pre-cut. It's panelized. It's a kit. It could be a yurt. It can be coockie-cutter. It's off-the shelf. It can be customized. It has been stigmatized. It's manufactured offsite. It's shipped and assembled elsewhere. It can be a "wide load". It's an idea. It's an area of study. It symbolizes the potential for future housing. It's emblematic of the failure of housing. It's a dirty word. With "sprout" added to it, it's a rock band with an usually fervent fan base. It generates over 540.000 results on Google. It's far too often described as "pretty fab". It shows tremendous promise or, depending on whom you talk to, is doomed to fail.
It may very well be a movement. It is nothing if not fascinating. It's prefab.

INSPIRATION
The trulli , limestone dwellings found in the southern region of Puglia (Italia), are remarkable examples of drywall (mortarless) construction, a prehistoric building technique still in use in this region. The trulli are made of roughly worked limestone boulders collected from neighbouring fields. Characteristically, they feature pyramidal, domed or conical roofs built up of corbelled limestone slabs.
