Australian Architecture at MoMA

July 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

A readymade building with an Australian origin is first off the block at the MoMA’s Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling in New York, by Jeremy Edmiston and Douglas Gauthier: Burst*008 in New York is designed to be assembled on site from laser-cut pieces. The Burst house is a computer-designed remake of the typical prefabricated box. Working from a formula that automates on the computer the specific pieces needed to create the house desired, the project is based on a system that can be adapted to a changing set of criteria. The 2003 prototype of the Burst*003 project, built on Australia’s northeast coast, won the Royal Australian Institute of Architects 2006 Wilkinson award; Burst*008 is a prototype developed for MoMA.
