Is Prefab Really Natural or Really Fabulous?

We think so. Instead of using tons of resources to build a house on site, you can easily build the majority of the house at a central location and save money and resources. We recommend prefab to anyone who has the time to research what it truly is in these modern times - oh wait - thank you New York Times.

The New York Times has an interesting article on just what Prefab even means in these modern times. The article covers the effort at the Museum of Modern Art. The museum has commissioned five architects to erect their own prefab dwellings in a vacant lot on West 53rd Street, adjacent to the museum. Whittled down from a pool of about 400, the five architects are participating in “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling,” an exhibition opening in July.

We can't wait to see what response these dwellings will get, and we hope more people fall in line with prefab housing.
