Design Rationale: Partitions
The wet systems - i.e. metal lath and plaster, and block - are more difficult
and costly to relocate; they are messy and little material is salvageable.
One of the few disadvantages of the generic design options selected is
relatively poor accessibility; but this is unimportant since, in the Prototype
Design, services are not housed within the partitions. This also removes
the comparatively messy and time-consuming task of cutting holes in the
partition surfaces, increasing the salvageability of materials during
alterations and speeding up the assembly process.
