The images show how the use of one material can be effectively used to create an interesting prefabricated design. Each section is made off-site, and due to the regularity of plan, parts can be secured in to one larger structure. Frames are individually constructed according to the above matrix, and the same timber panelling can be quickly affixed to each frame. As stated by the architects, factors that influenced the design included "overall surface expression, production schedule, and transportation method (vehicle bedsize)". This a great example of how structure can be complex but due to the same plan and panelling, can be easily prefabricated with transportation in mind as a key design factor.

London Art Fund Pavillion by StudioEfra
This proposal was submitted for a semi-permanent summer pavilion in England, with one major aspect of the brief requiring that it be able to be constructed on site within 72 hours and disassembled in 24 hours. The articulation of parts in this prefab is clear, with the structure also determining the form. Construction method is made clear in their diagrams as well, with framing going up first with the roofing and walls to follow.

Prefab 20*20 by Shift
Again, the function of parts is clearly defined, with this one having a lot more materials than the previous two. However, this allows for the customisation of spaces as indicated by the options in the last two images. Although there are more complex systems in place (such as air ducts, tracking, lighting etc), the modules having identical exterior box forms allows for ease of construction in regards to linking rooms and vertical and horizontal attachment.

Push Button House by Adam Kalkin
Although I'm not terribly fond of shipping container architecture, this design uses the prefab shell and deconstructs it and redesigns it in a way that obliterates the enclosed space usually found within typical container designs. Computer-controlled hydraulic cylinders allow the opening and closing of the walls, with internal furnishings being secured in place to allow for full transportability without deconstruction and reassembly.
