The Department of Housing and Urban Development Program, “ Operation Breakthrough, ” is a challenging governmental innovation designed to stimulate the various segments of our society to explore ways how technology may be applied to provide mass-produced housing. The objective of this program is to supply a sufficient number of homes at a reasonable cost to our rapidly growing population which will provide comfort, choice, and mobility while concurrently upgrading the quality and habitability of the disadvantaged segment of society. The solutions to many of the foregoing problems either directly or indirectly involve planning, design, and construction on a massive scale. Building technology, traditional planning criteria and codes, construction practices, and various other constraints such as labor and financing have limited the building potential in the United States in the past since efforts have been segmented and uncoordinated. The present trend toward Systemization is most necessary due to limitations of funds and time. Systemization of the building process must be accompanied by innovations in technology.
