Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, New York, 2008
Description
MoMA’s exhibition “Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling” covered a wide range of prefabricated architecture and design from the 1830s to present day. The curators gathered a huge amount of varied materials—full-scale constructions, architectural drawings, models, catalogues, advertisements, patent drawings, instructions, toys and packaging. Finding a form that could work with such disparate imagery was difficult. Our solution is based on basic prefab concepts: typography that is utilitarian and familiar, a palette of industrial materials and a layout that feels modular and efficient.
Juror Notes
Subtle graphic elements, a unique grid and memorable typographic choices enhance the content in a very clean and bold manner.
