MoMa’s going prefab, too


Just got an newsletter from the senior publicist by The Museum of contemporary Art in NYC―on July 20th, they’ll be opening an exhibit about prefabricated houses: Home Delivery: Fabricating the contemporary Dwelling, which will be on view from July 20 to October 20, 2008. We might cover that story on the show.

They plus have a behind-the-scenes blog going―including weekly diary postings from each of the five architects whose full-scale prefab houses will be displayed in the lot to the west of the museum and from the curators of the exhibition―recording the process of fabricating, delivering, and assembling

the houses main up to the July 20 opening. To quote the newsletter, "The site documents the fabrication and delivery of these homes, showing the questions that the architects come across and the solutions they devise as they go through the process. So, while the finished product as presented in MoMA’s exhibition will be fascinating, the process is wonderfully exciting to see behind-the-scenes through the habitable journal on the web site."
