- Abstract
- This review, annotated bibliography and index covers literature published in the English language on the regulation and evaluation of industrialized building. The scope of the review includes the period from 1940 to April 1972. A summary of the literature precedes the review. The summary follows the subject divisions used in the review. The review is divided into two parts, titled "Regulation" and "Evaluation". The first part deals with methods used to regulate industrialized housing, including: building codes (local, state, and model); standards; and zoning. The second part deals with the methods used to evaluate industrialized housing, including administration of the evaluation process. Each section of the review presents the literature in chronological order in an attempt to show the development of attitudes, trends, and accomplishments affecting the progress of industrialized housing. The annotated bibliography is divided into subject sections which correspond to those used in the review. Key works are included for each bibliographic entry. For reference purposes, a comprehensive index includes subjects, authors, and titles cited in the literature review and annotated bibliography.
