Instant Houses
Burst*oo8, Douglas Gauthier & Jeremy Edminston /LACAYO
I've checked in a few times this summer with "Home Delivery", the Museum of Modern Art show about prefabricated housing, an idea whose time is always coming but never quite comes. This is what I had to say about it recently in Time.

Prefab has been around for quite a long time, but never seems to hit the market. Perhaps familiarity does breed contempt after all.
Indeed, with the modern computer-assisted design for mass customization, the new concept of prefab may resurface with a bang. Architecture is always on the move, reinventing and rediscovering itself with the time.
“Architecture is all about having the passion to create, and nothing helps that process more than having a curious mind”. My son ruminates.
