As an individual or collective dwelling designed as a prefabricated model, the kit home transcribes the evolution of lifestyles: an appeal to ecology, small areas, industrial design... If prefabrication allows rapidity, simplicity of construction, modularity and scalability, do these qualities make kit homes the answer to the problems of our contemporary society? Composed
of four parts, the ambition of this book is to examine the return on the
architectural scene of all kinds of kit houses through various "experiments
and research on a new way to conceive the house" : "...Between
the body and the vacuum, it is the panel which will always make the shelter
possible. Billboards acting as a facade for a hotel room. Standardized
panels building the livable module and the volume of the room. Panels
found, cut and assembled just to the size of wide opening gaps to accommodate
the presence of the body, not more. ..." More information > www.editionsalternatives.com |
