Cellophane House
CELLOPHANE HOUSE™ chronicles the conception, assembly, display and disassembly of a five-story, off-site fabricated dwelling made of transparent, recyclable materials. The house was commissioned by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for the exhibition Home Fabricating the Modern Dwelling in 2008. Designed by Stephen Kieran and James Timberlake and their architecture firm KieranTimberlake, 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.
