This practical handbook combines real-world advice on designing modular housing with a compelling argument for off-site construction as a means for architects taking a greater role and achieving more influence in their housing projects.
Simon Bayliss oversees the design team at HTA, is a member of the RIBA Housing Group and regularly speaks at conferences on off-site construction, recently at the RIBA Smart Practice Conference.
Rory Bergin leads HTA's Sustainable Futures team and has been involved in all of the HTA off-site work and studies into innovative design and construction approaches.
