Gabion: Prefab homes revival: A new generation tackles an old idea 1/3

Until they were reinvented as glorious parts of our national heritage and listed, prefabs - that's prefabricated homes - had a bit of a bad name, didn't they? Somehow, the little "temporary" factory-made homes produced in the 1940s as a cure for bomb damage came to be associated with big, expensive, later failures of another type of prefab building - the tower block. But now, hey presto! Tower blocks are all right again, are routinely refurbished rather than dynamited, and the best ones are inevitably now also listed as historically and architecturally important.
