Description: Unlike the other pioneering low-rise, high-density housing schemes of the 60s, PREVI was the sole project to assume the form of an international demonstration, thereby implying the universal applicability of such an approach. In this regard, it was an exception not only for its ecological value as the demonstration of a mode of rational low-rise, high-density land settlement, but also for its extensive application of on-site, prefabricated reinforced concrete construction.ʺ--Verso Cover.
