The House as a Product

Meer over het boek

The book explores the evolution of industrialized housing, tracing its roots from the Victorian era when iron components allowed for the prefabrication and export of buildings, to its resurgence through Modernist architects like Mies van der Rohe and Gropius. It highlights a significant post-World War II demand for ready-made homes as returning soldiers sought quick housing solutions. This historical analysis reveals how industrialization has continuously shaped the building industry and influenced housing accessibility.
