Question #2

The House of the Future was prefabricated in a factory and shipped on a truck to the site. This method of prefabrication does not allow for any manipulation by the owner, and causes each of the units to look the same. The house was not meant to be put together in many different ways, but to have one layout made by curving plastic shapes. This method of pre-fab takes individuality out of the house. It would be individual as far as it was an odd shape that most people had not seen before, but if many were bought in the same area they would all look the same. The user could not define which interior spaced preformed which functions because all of that was decided in the factory when it was being built. This way of doing pre-fab limits the number of people who would buy the unit.
