Light on the environment, prefab construction is enjoying a renewed interest. Sections of a home (by some estimates, 30% of all new homes) are built in a factory to minimize construction waste, energy use and design costs. And recently, many new prefab homes are designing in other green building options. This conference will provide a unique opportunity for the assessment of the past and a focus on the future of manufactured building systems. The conference chairs invite papers and projects from a broad range of perspectives. Possible topics include the following:
• Design of contemporary prefabricated buildings and communities
• Trends in kit homes, panelized houses, and volumetric modules.
• Green prefab
• Prefabricated building elements such as structural insulated panels, precast or modular systems, modular building material composites
• Impact on social justice (affordable housing, senior housing, emergency housing)
• Open architecture
• Codes, regulations, laws
• Design of prototypical buildings
• Integrating principals of prefabrication into architecture and construction curricula
• History/theory of mass produced housing
• Redesign, reuse of mobile homes and mobile home parks
