"""David Wallance’s work in intermodal modular architecture opens a future for sustainable, less expensive and factory-perfect buildings going well beyond the building typologies typically associated with pre-built structures. Since the introduction of curtain wall design nearly 70 years ago, building construction methods have changed little and remain profoundly inefficient in comparison with the enormous technical progress made in other areas of goods production. David’s comprehensive exploration of modular design confronts systemic anachronisms that are deeply intrenched in the construction industry and forces consideration of why it is that we continue to tolerate them."" Daniel Alpert, Founding Managing Partner and Chief Economist, Westwood Capital, LLC, Author of The Age of Oversupply: Overcoming the Greatest Challenge to the Global Economy"
