Produktbeschreibung
World population is projected to increase
from approximately 5 billion in the
year 2000 to 8 billion inhabitants by 2050;
primarily in developing countries that are shifting
from a rural agrarian to urban information
society. Literally, millions of persons are
homeless, live in inadequate shelter, or as in the
US Manufactured Housing market, live in
deficient manufactured houses that are detrimental
to health and life-safety.

In this book, we review the evolution of the Manufactured Housing industry in the 20th century;
further, we review architect's mass housing concepts
and their encountered barriers. Additionally, we
review how architects and Industrial Designers use
technology and design processes in their respective
fields in terms of fabrication and mass-
customization techniques. Our hope is that emerging
design-fabricate processes in architecture can
assist with the expanding global housing crisis.
This book is addressed to designers, architects,
builders, managers, manufacturers, industrial and
real estate entrepreneurs as well as anyone
interested in improving human habitation.
