Digitally Prefabricated Housing

yourHOUSE is an MIT Design Lab project which conceived a house which is fabricated and assembled entirely of friction-fit components made from recycled plywood, completely eliminating the need for mechanical fasteners such as nails and screws.  This fabrication technique is made possible through the extensive use of computer numerical control (CNC) milling machines.

The MIT Design Lab has been selected by the Museum of Modern Art to construct a full scale and functioning prototype of yourHOUSE for the 2008 museum show, “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling”.  For this show, every component of the house will be entirely pre-fabricated offsite and delivered to the museum as a kit of parts which can be assembled in less than 2 weeks.
