The Cellophane House (it’s solar!)

“the Cellophane House, a five- story aluminum scaffolding wrapped with insulating transparent walls embedded with solar cells. The structure is easily taken apart to be almost fully recyclable.”

“Its Philadelphia architects, Steve Kieran and James Timberlake, see prefabrication as a way to make green technologies cheaper and reduce the huge amount of energy used by the small army of builders and delivery trucks it takes to build a conventional house.”

- by James S. Russell, Bloomberg.com from the MoMA’s Pods, Solar-Panel Scaffolds Show Prefab Housing’s Future article
