I'm lovin' this thread too Apoc, and all the wonderful posts!
In terms of what I'll be posting- I'll be posting things I find interesting, not necessarily things I "like" or "approve of". Unless I say so explicitly in the post of course. Might seem an unnecessary caveat in a thread such as this- but one never knows, does one? So I thought it best to make that clear...

I think some of the coolest photos are of things I don't like, becasue they make me think about what the need was for the structure.

Like this, all the teeny apartmentsd crowded in, makes me think of our abundance of space here in the US and how our living spaces differ.

My favorite among the pre-fabricated houses are the LV series by Rocio Romero.

One side of the house is effectively glass, which lends itself to creating unity with the landscape, while design elements allow for natural air flow and light. I really like the utilitarian sheet metal siding and clean, simple lines. I don't like the idea of just plopping a box into the landscape, but these units are fairly easily customized to accommodate even challenging sites.

I love the teeny houses, but wonder where my books would go!
I love all the metal

Love the mix of Asian with a bit of French thrown in.
the interesting shapes of the buildings, even the school, are cool.
