Prefab

Took a break yesterday and went into Minneapolis for the day. My primary objective was to see the Some Assembly Required exhibit at the Walker. It’s on modern prefabricated housing, which turns out to be a surprisingly interesting topic. Prefab housing traditionally has a very negative connotation, but the exhibit displayed the work of a number of architects who are designing some very unique structures. Says the Walker:

Today’s prefab movement has captured the spirit and imagination of a new generation of architects and home buyers, who together have championed a variety of modern modular dwellings that challenge preconceptions about “prefab” homes as cheap, cookie-cutter structures of last resort.

If you’re interested, there’s more info at fabprefab, and the Walker is podcasting its audio tour (direct rss link). Very cool.

Today it’s back to work, slowly. Thank goodness for midterm break.

  1. Ahh work. Right. Good luck with that.

    And may I suggest that you change your profile. Put stuff in past tense or something? Yeah.

    Okay, going now.

  2. Back again, much later.

    May I point out that you now have exciting news for the upcoming summer that you can share. Rather than last year’s news. mmmhmmm.

    Then again, I still don’t have anything to update, so I can’t really complain if you’re not updating as I’m not either. And I promise that made sense before I typed it out.
