The Manufactured Home Industry
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages. There is no doubt that the manufactured housing industry has come a long way since the prefabricated homes of the 1950's and 1960's, commonly referred to as 'trailer houses.' Fighting to overcome a dubious image, the contemporary modular housing concept of today is one of beauty, stability, and affordability. While this industry has literally remade itself from the ground up, it still carries with it a social stigma of the days gone by. That of the old time trailer parks, and the type of people who inhabit them. This paper will serve to focus on the facts of the industry today and enlighten the reader as to what it means to own a modular home in these times. No longer the eyesore of yesteryear, the modular homes have improved light years over their historic original counterparts; but the public image is having trouble keeping up. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

The Post Modern Sky is Falling
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Screamed Chicken Little. It was quite some time before his friends could reassure him that those pieces of sky were simply raindrops, which could be equally useful. The same might be said for the hoopla concerning post- modernism. According to Cronk (1996), modernism and post-modernism is art, which talks about art. When post-modernism is linked to design, the field of design is expanded rather than limited. This discussion will examine that link, look at post-modernism in relationship to its culture, and review the work of designer Robert Venturi. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
