If you are interested in seeing what the latest in Prefab housing technology is offering.  This video by Scribe Media gives a glimpse into 5 of the structures featured at MOMA’s exhibition: Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling.

The video features short interviews with some of the architects and the Chief Curator of Architecture & Design Barry Bergdol.  I think the project that can have the most impact is the Your House out of MIT.  From their project site:

"a prefabricated structure of plywood assembled solely with muscle and mallets, without any nails or screws or glue.

Led by Professor Larry Sass in the Department of Architecture, the project combines CAD technology with computer-controlled machinery to build a whole house from computer models and pre-cut plywood sheets with no drawings or paper documents.

The designer creates a 3-D computer model, flattens the objects to a horizontal position in CAD, then sends each component for cutting. Each component is manufactured with tab or slot for easy assembly and joinery is so precise that all parts stay together by friction alone."
