Plugin House: Modern Pre-Fab Architecture

An inspirational manifesto of innovative pre-fab solutions to the urgent housing problems around the world from a progressive young practice.

A manifesto for a new age of architecture, Plugin House is a guide to the innovative, sustainable and community-driven solutions to the global housing crisis. Challenging conventional architectural practices, the book champions the prefabricated house as an affordable and practical way to address homelessness, housing scarcity or gentrification. An empowering model for small studios and self-builders worldwide, Plugin House proposes an architectural revolution through houses that can be built quickly with limited tools and experience.

The book presents a diverse array of Plugin House projects by international architecture studio People's Architecture Office (PAO), brought to life by photography of these structures in situ.
