Cellophane House is a five-story, offsite fabricated dwelling commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art for the exhibition, Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling, on view July 20 through October 20, 2008. The project is a full scale prototype that confronts several agendas head on: the economy of offsite fabrication, design for disassembly, recycled and recyclable materials, parametric modeling, and the evolution of SmartWrap™, a high-performance building skin.
