prefab buildings- these are neat


Most great 20th century architects have designed a house for the masses. Something cheap, sleek and beautiful, and universal for all. Frank Lloyd Wright called his design "Usonian" (above) and believed they could and should be built all over America.

On various blogs, the popularity of prefab houses has grown because they're often built...greenly. I know nothing of this greeny building but all the talk has provided plenty of neat pictures to steal.

This is a Kithaus. A really tiny prefab used as a home office or getaway shack. These little guys appeal to me because they seem doable. I'm a modern kid who knows little about practical building but I'd love to learn. Good way to gain experience?
