Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling is both a survey of the past, present and future of the prefabricated home and a building project on the Museum’s vacant west lot. Not since the mid-century House in the Garden series has MoMA built occupiable model buildings to demonstrate contemporary issues to the public. The fives homes erected on the vacant west lot are designed by Kieran Timberlake Associates (Philadelphia); Jeremy Edmiston and Douglas Gauthier (New York); Horden Cherry Lee Architects / Haack + Höpfner Architects (London/Munich); Massachusetts Institute of Technology School of Architecture and Planning / Associate Professor Lawrence Sass (Cambridge); and Oskar Leo Kaufmann (Dornbirn, Austria).
The exhibition, and its accompanying Web site (www.moma.org/homedelivery), display the process of architectural design and production in equal measure with the actual end result.

chinese/japanese …
chinese/japanese architecture traditionally was made of interlocking parts. In the states we never really picked that up. When the industrial revolution came around, we were thinking mass produced houses and mass produced goods. No one ever thought of having a building like this though (or it never caught on)

I’d like to see one of these after a year of being lived in and exposed to the elements. The video did not impress me and if I was to make a decision based just on that, I would never live in one of these.

You cite the people …
You cite the people being “colorful” but if they were less concerned with adorning themselves and getting drunk they would have things rebuilt already. I’ve never found degeneracy attractive, but I guess those are the sorts that think New Orleans is something special.

if the glue used in making the fiberboard/wood-board is waterproof, the whole thing will be. Besides, I think this is meant to be clad in clapboard or at least vinyl siding. I mean, look at the roof… of course there will be something covering that… otherwise it would just leak! I love the concept.

Now that’s what I …
Now that’s what I call forward thinking. That is the way to go for it is far more cost effective and stronger than the other method of building.

when you make it waterproof and hurricane proof you’ll be a genius for sure.

Is it waterproof? Sealing out moisture from the end cuts of laminates AND between the thousands of seams in this design looks like and impossible task to me.

I think the design of this prefabricated home is brilliant and ingenius. You could feel the love,respect,and admiration for New Orleans, and the people that live there, that went into the creation of this home.:D
