Low-income families adopted it as a viable form of affordable home ownership, and for several decades manufactured housing remained dedicated to this market. Twenty years ago the design began to turn toward the middle classes, styling itself after the ideal suburban home-in spatial configuration, materiality, and price. Manufactured housing strayed from the benefits of prefabrication and became a factory-built image of the suburban community, leaving an entire socioeconomic class without suitable housing alternatives. Design through modular prefabrication offers the potential for a low-cost housing system that can flex to the specific needs of nearly any user or site condition. Only by rediscovering the aesthetic, spatial, and economic benefits of systems design and modular construction will manufactured housing offer an alternative for those who can afford little else. 2003-07-01 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1053439758 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1053439758 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
