KieranTimberlake is pleased to announce the release of a new eBook, Cellophane House™,available for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Kindle, Nook, Android, Mac and PC.
Cellophane House™ takes a radically different approach to off-site fabrication, reinventing the way buildings are assembled, what they are made of, and the experience of living in them. It demonstrates an end-of-life strategy that, enabled by an innovative structural frame and variety of connectors, makes disassembly and waste-diversion inherent in the building’s construction.
The book contains a detailed discussion of the house and 105 color photographs and illustrations. The iBooks version contains a time-lapse video of the assembly process.
Available at: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks.
