Modernist Prefab Dwellings

Check out this site -- I hope the "movement" catches on -- cool, affordable housing without having to live in a sterile tract home:

fabprefab - modernist prefab dwellings: "Predominant mass-market housing programs such as project homes or tract housing largely fail to meet the desires of people who appreciate a modernist design aesthetic. Custom-designed modernist architecture is beyond the financial reach of many people and so prefab is viewed as a design and production ideology that has the potential to deliver affordable modernism. While kit or prefab homes have been available in a range of either 'traditional' or 'alternative' forms for many years, surprisingly few prefab homes exist that truly embrace modernist ideals."
