The Metropolitan Museum of Art unveils an exhibition that shows
the technological innovation behind the pre-fabricated home. These
made to order homes may represent the homes of the future.
Highlighting the growing innovation in pre-fab homes, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has unveiled an exhibit highlighting the technological innovation behind the pre-fab home and how designers are responding to global trends.
Unveiled at the show will be a full scale prototype of the System 3, a design by Architects Oskar Kaufman and Albert Ruf. After years of pursuing the optimum in high quality low cost design, the System 3 is the pinnacle of austere elegance. Looking like a direct cousin of a shipping container the System 3 abandones traditional notions of architectural design. The truly intersting aspect of it’s design however is it’s ability to be “stacked”, taking multiple units and creating anything from hotels to office towers and luxury villas. (cont.)
