Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling

The Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling site, developed in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, is comprised of two primary sections. A survey of prefabrication in architecture (represented by the Timeline) covers the span from the opening decades of the nineteenth century through the past decade. The Installation Journal Archive below is a record of the weekly journal postings by the architects of the five contemporary prefabricated houses erected on the lot to the west of the Museum. The Installation Journal offers a "behind the scenes" look into the entire process of creating and erecting prefabricated architecture, and the firms and individuals chosen to participate contributed weekly progress updates, as did members of the MoMA curatorial team. The posts contained images and embedded videos chronicling the development of the commissioned projects leading up to the opening of the exhibition. Accompanying timelapse videos documented the installation of the exhibition in the lot.
