The Home Delivery Installation Journal offers a "behind thescenes" look into the entire process of creating and erectingprefabricated architecture. As part of the exhibition Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling,which will be on view at The Museum of Modern Art from July 20 toOctober 20, 2008, the Museum`s Department of Architecture and Designselected five architects to display full-scale prefabricated houses inthe outdoor space to the west of the Museum`s main building. The fivefirms and individuals chosen to participate have agreed to contributeweekly progress updates to the Web site several months in advance ofthe exhibition, demonstrating how the processes of design, fabrication,shipping, and assembly unfold to create five finished homes in time forthe exhibition`s public opening.
