The Beautiful Five Thousand Dollar House

I'm not the biggest fan of prefab dwellings although I do think they have a purpose. That purpose being not to serve as a dwelling in the strictest sense but maybe as a transitory or temporary dwelling. There's something about the construction and architecture and how it relates to its site (and therefore social and environmental context) as it is erected. I think this is particularly the case when the architecture attempts to materially, and also aesthetically, relate to the site. A quick and obvious example would be to use some type of clay cladding, facade or external facing material for a house that possibly sits close to say a clay cliff or clay quarry.
It's about being sensitive to and having a connection with the geography of the buildings context which I do not feel can happen with a dwelling that is manufactured off-site and them just dumped onto the site.
