    Building For the Future: The Art of Prefabrication for Architecture

    In this episode, Scott Berry of SCB shares how early collaboration with manufacturers can unlock the full value of prefabricated facades. Through projects like 1640 Broadway and Oakland’s MacArthur Tower, Scott explains why engaging suppliers before or during schematic design can reduce risk, improve constructability, and protect design intent. We cover form optimization, material mockups, joint detailing, workflows, and the team mindset needed to turn ambitious facade concepts into efficient, buildable solutions. For architects, designers, and builders, this conversation offers practical lessons on using early industry integration to save time, avoid costly rework, and deliver better prefabricated building systems.
