Download or read book Cellophane House written by Stephen Kieran and published by KieranTimberlake. This book was released on 2011 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CELLOPHANE HOUSE(TM) chronicles the design and execution of a five-story, off-site fabricated home assembled on-site in just sixteen days as part of The Museum of Modern Art exhibition, Home Delivery: Fabricating the Modern Dwelling. Through a series of questions, the book explores several of KieranTimberlake's ongoing research agendas including speed of on-site assembly, design for disassembly, a holistic approach to the life cycle of materials, and the development of a lightweight, high-performance, energy gathering building envelope. Cellophane House(TM) takes a holistic approach to factory fabrication, reinventing the way a building is assembled, its materials, and spatial experience. An innovative aluminum frame enables mass-customization of the home in multiple configurations, rapid assembly, and adaptability to different sites and climates. Disassembly, rather than demolition, is inherent as an end-of-life option to successfully preserve the embodied energy in the recyclable house materials. More than a building experiment, it suggests a new way forward in an approach to mass housing. Cellophane House(TM) has received awards from several groups: the AIA Housing Committee, the AIA Technology Committee, Boston Society of Architects, the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design, AIA Philadelphia and AIA Pennsylvania Chapters.

Book excerpt: This is the unfortunate story of a serial killer that could have been avoided. How? By the individual seeking help with his personality disorder. But as the saying goes, You can see a fly on someone else, but you cant see an elephant on yourself. Stanley, who worked for an insurance company, wanted desperately to advance. A few things stood in his way. He was devoid of a personality that made it difficult to be liked by his fellow workers. He totally lacked any communicative or motivation skills that made his supervisors not consider him as a leader in any sense. Annual cost of living raises, yes; promotions to a leadership position, no. Instead of seeking help, Stanley decided to make his own claim to fame and punish those along the way that had mocked him. He thought of himself as invisible, but placed the blame on all those around him. Put all this together and you have Mr. Cellophane. They will come to know me and pay dearly for their ignorance in not acknowledging my superiority! A monster has been turned loose.
