“…Bauhaus, a school of Arts and Craft, was pioneered by Walter Gropius in Germany. The school, which was founded in 1919, believed in the unity of Arts, attempted to harmonize crafts with pure arts and stood for a synthesis of the arts, ranging from the furniture details to the level of urban organization (Periton, 2011;Saletnik & Schuldenfrei, 2009;Siebenbrodt, 2009). Bauhaus forerun standardization by initiating prefabricated elements for building, and thereby redefined the aesthetics of industrial product and mass production.…”

Starting from the Industrial Revolution, continuous technical progress in Modern Architecture introduced new dimensions to the traditional methods of construction. Thus, Modern Architecture had a tremendous effect in introducing new approaches to the aesthetic understanding of the built environment. In addition, there are a lot of criticism on the philosophy of Modern Architecture and the idea of Machine Age Architecture led to the lack of sense of place and cultural detachment. This study aimed to assess the existing gap in literature by using a qualitative assessment of literature on Modern Architecture and stylistic classification of architectural movements in the Modern era. Overall, the study concludes that ignoring cultural values and its semiological references in architectural design are the most important aesthetic factor that led to the failure of Modern Architecture.

“…Modernization and non-traditional methods founded on the philosophies of Bauhaus, an art and design school founded in Weimar in 1919 by Walter Gropius (1883 -1969) (Dominiczak, 2012;Periton, 1996), contributed to a 'factory manufacturing methodology', particularly in social housing (Hayes, 1999). The modern movement has been suggested as making 'headway' for manufactured buildings, which were perceived as synonymous with 'progress' and 'modernity' (Hayes, 1999).…”

PurposeThis paper explores academic papers and reports and presents a chronology of the evolution of British low-rise prefabricated housing. The paper provides chronological information for construction and surveying researchers undertaking research in associated areas. Design/methodology/approachThis is a qualitative literature review, providing an exploration and analysis of academic papers and reports on low-rise prefabricated housing. FindingsA substantial literature was discovered. However, there are gaps in the available literature. The history of British construction technology is a rich research area but is under-researched.Prefabricated housing has a long history dating back to the 11 th Century. Stigmatised from the failures of housing in the 20 th Century, it is being increasingly used again in the 21 st Century when considering mass housing supply. Research limitations/implicationsThis paper provides researchers with an overview of the history of low-rise prefabricated housing in the Britain. It is not a comprehensive in-depth study; such would require numerous larger individual studies. Originality/valueFrom reviewing literature it was evident that there was a broad literature, but there was no single journal publication exploring the evolution of British low-rise prefabricated housing.The research provides an overview, exploration and analysis of the literature while providing a chronology. The evolution of prefabricated housing is chronologically presented. Areas for further research are also recommended.
