Prefabricated buildings (for all kinds of uses and applications) often referred to as prefabs, are dwellings manufactured off-site in advance, usually in standard sections that can be easily transported and assembled. Some current prefab home designs include architectural details inspired by postmodernism or futurist architecture. Werner Sell of Berlin, Germany is considered the inventor of the prefabricated house (Sell-Fertighaus GmbH). After World War II until 1948 his company built over 5000 prefabricated houses in Germany for members of the occupying force of the United States of America.

Prefab homes are becoming more and more popular in Europe, Canada and United States as they are relativity cheap when compared to many existing homes on the market. The most exciting development here is the fact that modern architects are experimenting with prefabrication as a means to deliver well-designed and mass-produced modern homes. Modern architecture forgoes referential decoration and instead features clean lines and open floor plans.
