prefab house new book from Allison Arieff, senior editor of Dwell magazine and Bryan Burkhart, author of the best-selling book, Airstream: The History of the Land Yacht. The book includes several projects by Anderson Anderson, and was just released in September of 2002 by Gibbs Smith Publishers.

Publisher¹s book description: "Prefab houses have done a lot to earn their reputation for being cheap and ugly, and indeed, the prevailing vision of prefab--endless rows of shabbily constructed cookie cutter structures built with cheap materials--is, unfortunately, fairly accurate. But now and throughout prefab's history, there have been many exceptions to the rule, as evidenced by groundbreaking projects from architects and designers from Le Corbusier to Buckminster Fuller, the Eameses to Philippe Starck. Prefab takes a look at prefabricated housing's fascinating history and imagines its promising future by presenting a group of innovative homes and concepts from over 30 contemporary architects and designers including Shigeru Ban, Anderson Anderson, Thomas Sandell, David Hertz, Greg Lynn, and KFN. By showing how far this much maligned building technique has come, and how far it can go, Prefab endeavors to inspire a change in the way people think about housing, and the way architects, builders, developers and financial institutions approach it--and ultimately, the way individuals live in it."
