Home Delivery Walkthrough: Digitally Fabricated Housing for New Orleans

Learn more at: http://moma.org/homedelivery

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.

You'd have to be pretty small to live there comfortably.

Is the house still for show? Is it located in N.O.? Because I would like to see it in person, if it is in N.O. This is amazing!

As with anything new, the question is: Will it withstand the test of time? The only way to find out is to construct a couple hundred of them in New Orleans and come back in a century to see if there a flaw in the design.

Can you buys these? is so, where would you find a seller? Fairly interesting product, it would be very useful for camping establishments.
