In its fifth consecutive year, this day-long program will focus on the myths and realities of prefab – specifically, the use of factory-based prefabrication methods applied to the design and construction of modernist homes. In the morning, a panel of industry insiders will share their experience designing and building architectural homes using factory-built, mobile, modular, panelized, pre-engineered or other components. In the afternoon, the class will tour a number of their completed projects and participants will have the opportunity to experience prefab firsthand. Does prefab succeed in delivering affordable modernism to the masses? Or is prefab merely a cultural construct, a catch-phrase popularized in the collective consciousness by the modern media? Does prefab really exist?
This seminar is hosted by Brian Linder, AIA, of tvoa.net and Keller Williams Realty, Beverly Hills , where he helps clients build net worth through buying and selling architecturally significant properties. Brian holds a BS in Industrial Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a Master of Architecture from UCLA. He is a licensed architect, general contractor and real estate broker, and his business background includes work as a management consultant for Big Four accounting and Fortune 50 companies. Brian is a frequent guest speaker at the American Institute of Architects, Society of Architectural Historians, Appraisal Institute and other forums for architectural discourse.
The panel discussion will be moderated by Michael Sylvester, publisher and editor of fabprefab.com. Michael works as a business consultant and holds an Architectural Science, B.Sc.(Arch.) degree from the University of Sydney ( Australia ) and an MBA from the University of Chicago . Michael speaks regularly on the business of residential prefab at professional and industry events as well as to Architecture students at various schools. Michael also provides media commentary on the modernist prefab market.
