At one I watched the modules being lowered in, and it's clear that another advantage is fast construction. In those cases the modules were placed side by side and formed a large building, so the idea here of making them a small house unit is a nice improvement. One issue that can come up though, is the building materials in prefabbed units are not always the best. In the one I visited there were issues with the glues and other chemicals. It sounds like the Technical University of Munich is taking an environmentally sound approach, which is great to hear. In Holland I’ve seen a few campuses that are doing something similar.
