Prefabricated Structures

Oh yes, oh yes– a gorgeous one-bedroom, 600 sq. ft. prefabricated home with panelized construction, a product of the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture. Called Taliesin Mod.Fab(TM), it incorporates water and energy saving features like greywater re-use, rainwater catchment, and solar paneling, should one want to completely unplug. The design makes an asset of the spare simplicity that often characterizes prefab structures, in my opinion.

Very cool design for a prefabricated house made of two 10x20x80 ft. twisted steel tubes, on a site in New Orleans, USA, that is 9 feet under sea level. Carbon fiber panels are used on the exterior.
At least the house itself should survive any future hurricanes that the Big Easy is unlucky enough to experience.

Sometimes ‘prefabricated structures‘ are more like recycled structures. We can, after all, create uses for things that have outlived their initial purpose, can’t we? Here’s a great use for oil rigs that are no longer producing:

I think I’d prefer warm water former drilling sites!
