Alchemy
continues to be amazed (and humbled) by the support of our 14,000+ wee
enthusiasts. weeFans ROCK! And often propose ideas that we find so stellar,
we like to share them.
Earlier
this week, the New
York Times put prefab on the front page (Arts section). MoMA's
forthcoming exhibition "Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern
Dwelling" is sure to be a remarkable event. Although the weeHouse
didn't quite fit the exhibition's profile, we're still excited to see the
show and we appreciate the museum's nod to prefab as a growing (not just
fad) method in building. The houses in the
exhibition will represent a great cross-section of creative thinking. We
also, however, loved Jen Carlson's take yesterday in The Gothamist on her
ideal MoMA exhibit including photos of the weeHouse, Modern Cabana, and
Tumbleweed Houses (also seen in Wired's recent "Small
and Fabulous" article). Thanks, Jen! (No, she's not related.)
In
addition to the 15 built weeHouses throughout the U.S., we have 13
weeHouses on the drawing board for Schapville, IL, White Stone, VA,
Younkers, NY, Northfield, MA, Portland, OR, Esopus, NY, Minneapolis, MN,
Hood River, OR, Cobbleskill, NY, Western CT, Los Angeles, CA, Baton Rouge,
LA, and Concord, MA (along with other custom projects). As they are built,
we'll certainly let you know.
Thank
you for your ongoing enthusiasm around the efficiencies of modern, prefab
architecture and, of course, our work. Cheers to a spectacular 2008!
