Advocating for the adoption of open-source design based on a new modular standard, the book shows how the construction industry and architectural practice may soon be radically reshaped. By leveraging the existing intermodal freight transport system, global supply chains can be harnessed to realize the long-held promise that housing will be a well-designed and affordable industrial product. We are on the cusp of a transformative change in the way we design and build our cities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor David Wallance argues that modular architecture is profoundly intertwined with globalization, equitable urbanism, and sustainable development. His book addresses these timely issues through a specific approach grounded in fundamental concepts. Going beyond the individual modular building, Wallance forecasts the emergence of a new type of design, manufacturing, and construction enterprise.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWritten in an approachable style with illustrated examples, the book is a must read for professionals in architecture and design, city planning, construction, real estate, as well as the general reader with an interest in these topics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"flush-headingThree\" class=\"accordion-header\"\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv aria-labelledby=\"flush-headingThree\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse show\" id=\"flush-collapseThree\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePART 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.
