We weren't at Dwell on Design last weekend, but a lot of others were. BLDGBLOG covered a talk by Michelle Kaufmann and fellow architect Michael McDonough: "Michelle Kaufmann, meanwhile, still speaking as I type this, is introducing everyone to green roofs, rainwater catchment, passive/active solar energy systems, and the relatively streamlined construction process involved in assembling one of her projects. She even, briefly, touched on issues of affordability (or the lack thereof)." PrairieMod produced some rambling podcasts from the show. Day 1 featured a review of the opening day speakers and show setup. Day 2 shared some photos from the show and more reviews of speakers. Inhabitat posted details each day. Day 1: the speakers and some photos. Day 2: the outdoor area and kitHAUS. CubeMe wrote about the Drop House, a prefab prototype: "Here is a Prototype of a really cool-looking portable house."Several of the rooms pop out from the main house volume. The Good Human's Prefab Wednesday explained why they write about prefab. Curbed LA wrote about an OMD prefab in Santa Monica: "Green and tidy!" We'll discuss Inhabitat's Prefab Friday post about the mkLotus in a separate post. Jetson Green discussed another prefab prototype, the Tread Lightly House. |
