Prefab Prototypes

Site-specific Design for Offsite Construction

Mark Anderson, Peter Anderson

Architects Mark Anderson and Peter Anderson have been working with prefab buildings for more than fifteen years. In Prefab Prototypes, they break prefab down into six systems, from most flexible to most complicated – panelized wood framing, sandwich paneling, steel framing, timber framing, concrete systems and modular systems. Each chapter delves into the benefits and drawbacks of its respective method, and features detailed plans, sections and photographs of projects they’ve completed that use each of these systems. The resulting book is both a lush depiction of their prefab output as well as an in-depth analysis that will prepare you for taking the plunge into prefab building.
