Click here to order This book addresses the design of efficient and sustainable mass housing. The principles and prototypes presented are the products of twenty-eight years research and practice. The design principles address: Efficiency and Sustainability, Open Architecture and Modular Design, Rational Building Systems, Cost, Affordability, and Speed. and Fast Track Delivery. The prototypes are comprised of unbuilt projects and hypothetical exercises. Modular planning prototypes for mass housing are presented in addition to single and multifamily modular design prototypes. All of the mass housing prototypes employ light gauge steel construction, modular design, prefabrication and mass-production. Each prototype addresses an obvious and pressing housing problem that has not received much current recognition or tangible solution. Some examples of pressing problems addressed are urban infill and small scale redevelopment housing, low income senior citizen housing, working poor housing, especially in developing countries, war refugee and war recovery housing and natural disaster relief-recovery housing. The contents of this book should be of interest to all people, worldwide, involved in mass housing: planners, architects, engineers, students, teachers, housing and urban development agencies, disaster relief agencies, international development banks, redevelopment agencies, zoning code agencies, low cost housing mortgage lenders, production home builders and residential construction component manufacturers. Efficient and sustainable mass housing is a worldwide problem both critical and current. These mass housing principles and prototypes are presented in conjunction with the equally pressing and much larger problem of efficient and sustainable new neighborhoods, communities, towns and cities. The book is not a critique of what is, but a series of suggestions concerning what to do instead. AutoCAD 14 design drawing packages for each of the prototypes illustrated on this web site are available for purchase. These drawing packages will provide a sufficient basis for writing realistic mass housing design-build proposals covering scope, schedule and budget. The fee for each drawing package is $475. Some of the single-family prototypes have multiple models, and in these cases the fee for drawing packages describing each succeeding model is $250.
