Home Delivery Walkthrough: Digitally Fabricated Housing for New Orleans Tube. Duration : 3.62 Mins.


Learn more at: moma.org Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling is both a survey of the past, present and future of the prefabricated home and a building project on the Museum's vacant west lot. Not since the mid-century House in the Garden series has MoMA built occupiable model buildings to demonstrate contemporary issues to the public. The fives homes erected on the vacant west lot are designed by 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). The exhibition, and its accompanying Web site (www.moma.org/homedelivery), display the process of architectural design and production in equal measure with the actual end result.

New architectural installation fabricated, assembled and placed in Azimuth Tube. Duration : 5.05 Mins.


Watch a video documenting the fabrication, assembly and installation of the new piece in the Azimuth coffee shop designed by Elena Manferdini, principal of a Los Angeles firm specializing in the cutting edge of computer-aided design of exotic forms. As a spring 2011 artist in residence at the College of Architecture, Manferdini led an elite student team in the design and fabrication of the colorful, floral-themed architectural installation. Students did the bulk of the fabrication work, which involved cutting and bending the sculpture's stylized aluminum flower petals using the CNC router, metal break and other tools available at the college's Digital Fabrication Facility, or Architecture Ranch, at the Texas A&M Riverside Campus.
