Annotation: Volume 1, The Timeless Way of Building, lays the foundation of the series. It presents a new theory of architecture, building, and planning which forms the bsis for a new traditional post-industrial architecture, created by the people.

Read it for inspiration; as a practicing planner, an educator, or a student, you cannot help but be challenged and stimulated by this book.--Dennis Michael Ryan, Journal of the American Planning Association

Volume 2, A Pattern Language, is a working document for such an architecture. It is an archetypal language which allows lay persons to design for themselves.

I believe this to be perhaps the most important book on architectural design published this century. Every library, every school, every environmental action group, every architect, and every first-year student should have a copy.--Tony Ward, Architectural Design

Volume 3, The Oregon Experiment, shows how this theory may be implemented, describing a new planning process f

Prefabulous for Everyone

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Author: Koones, Sheri

Publisher: Gibbs Smith

Date Published: 04-2023

ISBN: 1423663594 | EAN: 9781423663591

BasicBinding: Hardcover

Features: Illustrated, Price on Product | Pages: 224

Annotation: Prefabricated housing is a practical solution since it is faster to build, less expensive than site-built houses, and potentially more energy efficient--all aspects that are attractive to homeowners. According to manufacturers, they are seeing the trend for house size coming down but with higher quality amenities. Sheri Koones has authored a series of five prefabulous books; this one is her sixth. She includes a variety of prefab homes from small to large, including modular, SIPS (structural insulated panels), panelized, and kit built. The houses are from a range of locations across the United States and Canada. Koones includes luxurious, expensive houses as well as some modest, lower-cost homes. She includes two houses that replaced homes that burned down in the California fires. There are several ADUs (accessory dwelling units). The prefab manufacturers have changed in many cases since she wrote her last Prefabulous book in 2016. Although this book includes some of the best older companies, it also includes houses built by new, up-and-coming manufacturers.

He writes about the buildings themselves in terms of the historical goings-on at the time, why they were built, and the players involved, highlighting notable architectural moments and period-specific furnishings. A smattering of pop culture history adds extra bursts of levity throughout.
