Kieran Timberlake Associates recently shared his two-part Cellophane House discussion as part of the Lean Manufacturing podcast series.
Part one (15:07) "focuses on the design principles and goals of the project."
Part two (12:23) "examines how modular design and Rexroth aluminum structural framing enabled the demonstration of unique lean construction and sustainable design concepts."

In August, Witold Rybczynski's skeptical take on prefab appeared in the form of a slideshow on Slate. We covered it, and disagreed. One thing we missed: he also made NPR.
The four minute interview reiterates much of the essay, but is worth a listen.
