Local weeHouse gets placed.
Saturday, March 10, 2007
Local architecture firm Alchemy Architects placed another weeHouse earlier this week, this time right in the middle of Minneapolis. Because the structure is prefabricated, with the majority of work being done ahead of time in a factory, the show was quick and sweet - check out the video below.
While there is still a long ways to go, each completed prefab project brings us that much closer to a world where affordable prefabricated housing is available to everyone. Currently, technological limitations are holding many ideas back, but as technology advances, and demand increases, we may reach a point where construction is entirely automated.
Look for Alchemy Architects' Scott Ervin to talk about these and other issues pertaining to their work at Solutions Volume 1.
