Home Delivery: MoMA’s Exhibit on Modern Prefab
It is still more than two months away but we are extremely excited to start talking about Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling, MoMA’s new exhibition on the past, present and future of prefabricated homes. The installation consists of the selected works of five international architects and will display full-scale prefabricated homes in the outdoor space to the west of the Museum’s main building.

The Home Delivery Installation Journal provides a “behind the scenes” opportunity for those interested in staying up-to-date on weekly progress. This allows people to see and understand the processes of design, fabrication, shipping, and assembly of the homes. The five architects involved are 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).

Stay tuned!
