In his time Ludwig Mies van der Rohe said:
“This is no less true of steel and concrete than of wood, brick and stone. We must remember that everything depends on how we use a material, not on the material itself. New materials are not necessarily superior. Each material is only what we make it.”
In our time let us say:
“This is no less true of off-site construction than of on-site construction. We must remember that everything depends on how we use a method of construction, not on the method itself. New methods are not necessarily superior. Each method is only what we make it.”
Join the AIA KC Modular and Prefabricated Architecture Group and let’s see if we can’t push off-site construction to new heights and qualities in Architecture.
