Prefab has a stigma as “dirt cheap and trashy,” but recently designers have re-envisioned it as a chance to join well designed space and high quality materials with the efficiency of controlled construction. Some see these approaches as the future of affordable design, some as unresponsive to client and site-specific needs. How can we, as designers, use prefab and modular ideas to deliver affordable housing and create a better quality of living?
