Home Delivery is the exhibition on architecture that offers the MOMA. It allowed us to see the whole process of construction of prefabricated housing. And it may be seen at the Museum of Modern Art from 20 July to 20 October 2008.

The Department of Architecture and Design Museum, has selected five architects to display full scale prefabricated houses in outer space, west of the Museum's main building.
Home Delivery: Offers the most thorough examination of the historical and contemporary significance of the manufacture and production of modern housing in the architectures so far.

With growing concern over issues such as sustainability and global population growth. It took the "pre-building" as the center of the scene and leading solutions to a number of pressing needs. The viability of prefabricated structures has long served as a central precept in modern architecture, and continues to stimulate imaginative design and development of innovative manufacturing processes. The relationship between the drawing board and the finished product has never been more dynamic, but the potential of prefabrication has not yet come to full fruition.

Home Delivery: examines this phenomenon through historical documents, full-scale real, and traces the roots of prefabrication in the work of individual architects like Frank Lloyd Wright, Jean Prouvé and Richard Rogers and companies such as Lustron, and the imaginative systems of other influential figures including Thomas Edison and R. Buckminster Fuller.
