Abstract
During the 1960's and early 1970's heavy prefabricated construction systems were employed on a large scale to attempt to solve the acute shortage of public housing in Britain. Subsequently a high percentage of these multi-storey blocks experienced severe problems: some because of serious technical faults, whilst others for largely social reasons. The problems worsened and during the 1980's large numbers of these blocks were demolished barely 20 years after their construction. This paper assesses the effects of technological choice in housing, discusses the interrelationship between technology design and social factors, and explores the explanations and implications of these failures.

Summary
Durante los años sesenta y años setenta se innplantó un programa a gran escala de conjuntos en altura utilizando sistemas de prefabricación pesada para superar el agudo déficit de vivienda social en Gran Bretaña. Un alto porcentaje de estos conjuntos han resultado problemáticos; algunos por serias fallas técnicas y otros por razones sociales. En los últimos años los problemas hian venido creciendo hasta que se ha empezado a demoler miles de estas viviendas, la mayoría de las cuales apenas tienen 20 años de vida. Este artículo evalúa los efectos de decisiones sobre tecnología en vivienda, habla de la interrelación entre tecnología, diseño y factores sociales, y explora las explicaciones e implicaciones de estos problemas
