It’s really exciting, Gluck, principal of GLUCK+ architects, says, as the building blocks are hoisted overhead. Standing at the edge of the lot, we discussed the history of modular and prefabrication building methods, and why they are again relevant. “This is all about urbanization, the moving back to the cities,” the architect tells Co.Design. “Now the technology and the methods for doing it have evolved.”  Gluck’s generation of architects was reared in the shadow of the late modernists, whose oversize urban panaceas and all-encompassing treatises they’d begun to aggressively critique. An inclination toward viewing architecture less as an art form and more as a high-tech solution to society’s problems marked a shift in thinking for Gluck and his professional peers.
