General Panel System

Outline
The industrialization of housing by Gropius was envisioned from the planning documents of 1910, including sales. After emigrating to the U.S., Gropius and Waxman collaborated to develop a packaged house based on Waxman's panel-joining system, and started the General Panel Company to manufacture and market the product.
