These pre-fabricated , modular homes , embodying a high degree of flexibility inconceivable in times past, could be built anyplace one might imagine, amidst forest , a top mountains, or on remote islands. All off these dwellings can be designed as self-contained residences with their own thermal generators and heat concentrators . PhotovoltaiŃ arrays would be built into the skin of the building and into the windows themselves."Thermopanes" would be used to tint out the bright sunlight by variable patterns of shading . All these features could be selected by the occupant to supply more than enough of the energy reguired to operate the entire household .Homes could be prefabricated of a new type of pre-stressed , reinforced concrete with a flexible ceramic external coating that would be relatively maintenance free, fireproof , and impervious to the weather . Their thin shell construction can be mass-produced in a matter of hours. With this type of construction , earthguakes and hurricanes.
