"PRE-FAB" by Allison Arieff and Bryan Burkhart.
This book presents many pre-fab houses all over the world, the architects that design them, and the reasons pre-fab is desirable for many locations. With floorplans and many images, it can be a good start to recognizing the benefits and drawbacks to this type of construction and also to see what pieces are currently being constructed for use in my project.
"The Adaptable House" by Avi Friedman.
The ideas presented in this book I believe can be adapted for commercial structures as well. As the demographics of an area or building change, so will the way the structure is used.
"Pre-fab Prototypes: Site-Specific Design for Offsite Construction" by Mark Anderson and Peter Anderson.
I don't have this book yet, but I think that its in-depth look at pre-fabricated commercial structures could be beneficial for my project.
"Design Like You Give A Damn" edited by Architecture for Humanity is a broad look at (among other things) pre-fab structures in use around the world. The projects it highlights are site-specific, easily constructed, inexpensive and sometimes widely used. Each project is specific to the way in which the users live and inhabit the structures.
