MOMA’s Pre-Fab Presentation
If I was the modern day jet-setter of my dreams I would most definitely be planning a trip out to The Big Apple for the MOMA’s celebration of the modern pre-fab, “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling”.

Today, the focus is on sustainability, quality workmanship and modern design principles. There are some ultra-chic pre-fabs out there.
