Industrialized Building Systems for Housing - The MIT Press

The editors of this informative volume assert that "The United States
today—at a time when more housing is needed than ever—does not
exploit existing building technologies to the fullest. The tools are
available, but the constraints are an obstacle. The latter can only be
overcome by a determined, concerted effort by all elements of the
building industry."

The increasing importance of industrialized building, as the demand for

housing accelerates and outstrips the capacity of traditional
construction methods to provide it, is highlighted by this book, whose
very publication should give new impetus to the indus- trialized
building trend. Based on two special summer programs held at M.I.T.,
it contains contributions from experts in areas ranging from urban
politics to systems analysis and materials technology. It offers a strict
examination of the underlying principles involved in industrialization
and the types of building systems now evolving, particularly in
housing. Building by such methods demands the total integration of all
subsystems and components into an overall process utilizing
industrialized production, transportation, and assembly techniques.
The principles uncovered are applied to the development and use of
specific systems and techniques both in the United States and abroad.
These include monolithic systems (boxes), panels, frames, mobile
 homes, mechanical units and components, and such special
construction techniques as the use of lift slabs and slipforms.

In addition to the developing technology, the book also examines the

"morphology of systems and urbanization." Basic policies are proposed
which need to be set at a national level if the supply of housing is to
keep effectively abreast of local needs. An effort is made to face the
problem in its totality and to suggest integrated solutions that
recognize such diverse factors as the principles of design, performance
standards, the effect of building codes, volume production, building
modules, the problems of evaluation, the introduction of innovation,
governmental policy, labor, and finally, the necessary organization for
production. Examples of existing industrialized systems are discussed
in relation to these factors in some detail and are illustrated with
numerous photographs.
