Home Delivery Walkthrough: Cellophane House

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.

Let's say I am a millionaire and I want to buy your house.

You sell me at what price?

I imagine that prices have lowered since the financial crisis of 2008.

Thx.

*Note* The extruded aluminum framing they reference in the film is not in fact used for warehouse shelving. Warehouse shelving has no need for the modular design of extruded aluminum profiles and aluminum simply cannot offer the required strength that steel can. The aluminum profiles are more commonly found in industrial machine framing and safety fencing, though its uses are certainly limitless.

Very Interesting!

love the use of space and design!

In an urban setting privacy and security would be concerns. The floor layout and placement of functional spaces was well thought out. Taking the concept in another direction such as for temp housing for hurricane/earhquake relief. The modular design seems like a good fit for those uses.

Hmm smellophane. Not my choice exactly. There are some nice solar glasses available from people like Schott. Allowing differing degrees of light through. Check out ASi glass or similar.
