Prefabricated housing presents a critical challenge for those seeking affordable homes and refugees escaping conflict or disasters. The recent surge in migration has caught both politicians and architects off guard, raising questions about the adequacy of solutions like tent cities and containers for providing dignified, quickly assembled accommodations. This evolving urban landscape, characterized by shrinking space, challenges existing standards for serial housing and demands bold, innovative responses from architects. This volume, over 250 pages, showcases international design teams' work, balancing unconventional developments with life-saving shelters. It features articles on design principles and is organized into three sections based on delivery forms: cuboid, panels, and custom units. The content ranges from whimsical structures to practical architectural solutions for the homeless and outpatient medical stations, addressing pressing social issues and space limitations. Through text, photographs, and plans, the book explores the potential for more than just container assembly, suggesting that embracing seemingly absurd ideas may lead to viable housing solutions for today.
