irritating animated gif
[edit]The article contains an animated picture which I for one find extremely irritating and distracting. However, the picture is relevant because it shows a house being built. Perhaps it could animate once and then become static. Or perhaps have a static image on the article page, with a link to the animated version. -- Cabalamat 17:46, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Prefabs and the modernist movement - seems a little NPOV
[edit]Just been reading through - the section Prefabs and the modernist movement appears to lie somewhere in adverty/NPOV/non-encyclopaedic territory...
"Prefab housing should no longer be compared to a mobile home in terms of appearance, but to that of a complex modernist design." is particularly awkward to me - appears very NPOV, and the citation of a likely-biased page of general information about transportable homes doesn't really help...
"There is a new zeitgeist in architectural circles and the spirit of the age favors..." - also a bit weasel-wordy?
Anyway - adding a POV-check-section tag, in hope that someone more experienced can drop by...

If this is about prefab buildings....

Propose to merge Pre-engineered building article into Prefabricated building article
[edit]Pre-engineered building article causes Conceptual Overlap. Pre Engineered Buildings are a subset of Prefabricated Buildings, as PEBs are typically manufactured offsite and then assembled onsite. Both articles likely discuss overlapping topics, such as manufacturing methods, cost-efficiency, and use cases, leading to redundancy. Readers searching for information about prefabricated structures often expect to find insights about pre-engineered buildings in the same place. The terms “prefabricated” and “pre-engineered” are often used interchangeably, depending on the region or industry, which could confuse readers. A unified article can clarify their relationship and differences. 171.236.244.126 (talk) 14:54, 7 December 2024 (UTC)
