Pre-fabricated: A Look into the Past of Modern Housing Construction 🏠 From the Stockheath Boys Club in the UK to the Torrey & Alexander Mission in Brixton Hall, London, the 1950s and 60s saw a revolution in housing construction. 🇷🇺 In the paper industry center of Seghez, USSR, prefabricated apartment buildings were erected in the early 1960s, using factory-made parts along Khoroshevskoye Highway. 🚧 Meanwhile, in Moscow, experimental five-story apartment buildings were constructed in Novoye Cheryomushki using prefabricated sections in 1962. 🏢 Pipeline construction was also a significant area where prefabrication proved its worth, with factory-made parts making the process more efficient and cost-effective. 🛢️ Back in Europe, trucks were loaded with concrete blocks for prefabricated housing projects, while in South Georgia, the Grytviken whaling station provided a unique setting for prefabricated buildings. 🐳 Fast forward to the Czech Republic, where many still live in prefabricated housing built in the 1960s, showcasing the enduring legacy of this construction method. 🇨🇿 And let's not forget the iconic Mulberry Harbour, built during World War II using prefabricated sections, demonstrating the versatility of this construction approach.
