With Limitation Comes Inspiration: The Case for Interior Prefabrication

Abstract

I have found that it is generally assumedwhen I initially speak about the prefabricated interior, and students are no exception, that it is just another conversation on prefabricated architecture. However, the topic is, in fact, a reconsideration of prefabrication from the interior perspective (Schneiderman 2012). In their exploration of the prefabricated interior, my students have found inspiration from the limitations assumed when discussing prefab. Prefabrication is typically understood as mass produced and fixed, designed without a specific user in mind, and therefore not customized to the individual. Within the prefabricated interior, however, the ability to combine widely available and varied mass-produced and prefabricated elements of the interior have increased the possibility of individualization.
