George Nelson, Casa industrializzata, USA, 1957

The Industrialized House was meant to meet the needs of mobility and evolution of the modern lifestyle. This aluminum skeletal system of «hollow rectangular prisms» would be a prefabricated, modular and expendable house. A unit was a 12-foot modular grid. It was George Nelson’s central architectural project but it never got beyond the status of a model.

Everything in it was designed to streamline the assembly and the extension of the house: aluminum framework and supports would replace the costly and longer concrete foundations and be much more lightweight. Moreover, the continuous production of interchangeable components allows more adaptability.
