The future is becoming more pre-fabricated and flexible. Order today and tomorrow one house or perhaps an entire neighborhood. It can even be temporary housing, which can be set up quickly and taken down again. What about for inner city dwelling?
At present, the image of temporary buildings is changing rapidly. They are not only more beautiful, but also energy efficient and easier to disassemble and move.
This is particularly attractive for urban development because what does this mean for public space? Especially when you’re talking about sewage and electricity. While this is an investment for the long term, it is not so easily taken away as the prefab house.
There are several considerations with temporary accommodation in vacant lots or perhaps in existing office buildings, the plug-in housing:
1 Ensure public space that can move along, or public space is as flexible as the houses once it gets there.
2 Ensure there are public spaces that are so good people want to live there or near those locations.
3 Buildings are so self-sufficient or residents themselves arrange the connections.
These are opportunities for planners to develop new concepts to realized on vacant lots? For more about prefab homes, visit our directory.
