FabPreFab: Modernist PreFab Housing!


(pictured is kitHAUS’s K3 Module)

Morning All,

SuperForester Jon, (who is truly a fountain of great information,) just sent us word of FabPreFab.

In a nutshell, FabPreFab is a newsletter you can sign up for that keeps you informed about Modernist Prefabricated Housing.

Like the Zero House.

Or Alchemy Architects weeHouses.

Or H-Haus’s Cube Series

Prefabrication = Made ahead of time.

So much time and energy is saved when housing is factory constructed, then shipped and assembled in place. Truly, a build that could take months and months could be done over a week, or even hours. Prefab is smart and clean.

Watch:

There you see the 2.5 hour build time for the Hive B-Line prefab house. Yes, more time was needed to build the foundation, but a two and a half hour assembly time? Cripes, that’s fast!

Love to all the thinkers thinking.

Special thank to Jon for the great intel.

Massimo & Lella Vignelli

Hello All!

SFNYC just found a great video on youtube of Massimo & Lella Vignelli, husband and wife Italian designers who’s life seems so beautiful and well pondered. In this clip they take us on a little tour of their home an some of the products they’ve created.

The best is the dinnerware scene. Swoon!

“A clean stack of dirty dishes, for the first time in history…”

Observe and be inspired:

Vignelli

And the Vignelli Associates site

Maybe they are right, perhaps design can save the world.
