Prefab homes could potentially be the new wave of homes for the future. They consume very little time and energy in their construction, have low impacts on the environment, and can be superbly stylish. The prefab potential cannot only aid environmental ills, but social ones as well. Prefab would be better fit than our current mode of building today to keep up with the demand of infrastructure needed to house growing populations i.e. Schools. The reductions in construction time and using recyclables could also provide more low income housing for those in need. The cellophane house is an example of how a home can be recycled- where the disassembly is just as easy as the assembly, and parts can be reused.
MoMA in New York is currently displaying Kieran Timberlake's Cellophane house, a dwelling venturing into a new frontier of design and construction methodology.
