My place to talk about prefabricated buildings
Despite the tragic times of its conception, the Quonset hut has emerged as an astonishing icon of the American architectural industry. Originally influenced by the Nissen hut design of the British, Quonset huts have thus been transformed and adapted into functional units that offer great flexibility in interior design. One of the significant influences of the original Quonset huts was the arch roofed storehouse units that utilized lightweight metals such as Aluminum. Other influences include the Weather Port structures which employ the design principles of the Jamesway hut. Modifications to the Quonset hut have also resulted in other trademarked structures such as the Portaseal hut and the Pacific hut.
