Los cuarenta años transcurridos, así como la continua transformación de las viviendas por sus usuarios, hacen posible reflexionar sobre la adecuación de las distintas tecnologías constructivas propuestas en el concurso. En esa época se confiaba en la industrialización pesada, como se constata en la propuesta de los arquitectos alemanes o polacos. Sin embargo, bastantes propuestas del PREVI optaron por la racionalización constructiva y la fabricación seriada de pequeños elementos, lejos de los grandes prefabricados tridimensionales. La situación en Latinoamérica invita a cuestionar si algunas de las propuestas tecnológicas del PREVI serían viables actualmente.Peer reviewed2013201320122012info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/80014reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
